2. Overview of CCP WHAT IS COLLEGE CREDIT PLUS?
College Credit Plus (CCP) is an opportunity for qualified high school students to take college classes before graduation
CCP Covers all dual credit programs
High School and College Credit
Free of charge to the student (public school students who are Ohio residents)
On campus, at the high school and on-line
Students may also participate in a self-pay option. These students will receive college credit (no high school credit available)

3. What does CCP Cover?
CCP students will have costs paid by the school district. This includes:
Tuition
Books (student may be required to return at the end of the term)
Fees
CCP does not include:
Optional Fees (parking, gym membership)
Transportation

4. Self-Pay WHY WOULD I DO SELF-PAY?
Self-pay students may not want to have college classes on the high school transcript
Self-pay students may want to take Dev-Ed, or remedial, courses (if available)
Non-public and Home School students may do self-pay if they do not receive state funding for CCP

5. Maximum Credit Hours Formula to determine eligible college hours:
CCP will allow a student to earn 30 credit hours in one academic year
Students can earn a maximum of 120 college credits, 7 – 12 grade.
Formula to determine eligible college hours:
Take student’s # of high school Carnegie units and multiply by 3.
Subtract that answer from 30.
This will give you the number of hours for which student may earn
in that academic year.

6. Non-Public and Home-Schooled Students
Funding is by application and is not guaranteed
Must submit letter of intent and application
Will receive notification of award—credit hours may be limited
If awarded, must submit copy of award letter to college/university

7. Benefits of CC+ Free college credit
Opportunity to enroll in classes not available at high school
Exposure to college faculty/ college expectations
College credit may transfer easily (especially between public institutions within Ohio)

8. Risks of CC+ Financial Risk
If unsuccessful, may have to reimburse school district
College coursework may be more rigorous and take more time than high school coursework
Transportation not provided for on-campus classes
Course credit may not transfer to private or out-of-state colleges
Federal Financial Aid may be impacted
‘W,’ ‘F,’ maximum time frame

9. Who can participate in CC+?
Students in grades 7 – 12 who meet the college readiness guidelines (generally based on test requirements)
Students must file letter of intent with HS counselor by April 1
The earlier the better, especially if planning to start in summer
Students must meet the admission criteria set by the college

10. Who should participate in CC+?
Students who are motivated and mature
Students who are academically strong students
Students who want to explore academic areas that may not be available at their high school
Students who have the time to devote to college classes

11. How Does CCP Affect College Admissions?
CCP Students will be considered freshmen when applying for admission as a degree seeking student to colleges in the University System of Ohio
Grades earned in CCP courses will be included in the high school grade point average, which will be a factor in selective admissions
Colleges will have a variety of admissions policies – check with the school of your choice for more details

12. CC+, AP, IB, Honors—What’s Best?
Selective admissions colleges look for students who have the most rigorous courses
Both the subject matter and the level of rigor are considered
Students should take math all four years of high school
Natural Sciences and Foreign Language courses are also highly rigorous
Challenge yourself by taking classes that push you, either through AP or CCP

13. What are your next steps?
Meet with your high school counselor to discuss your options
Complete the “Intent to Participate” form at your high school by April 1
