College Credit Plus (CCP)
Ohio’s College Credit Plus can help you earn college and high school credits at the same time by taking college courses from community colleges or universities. The purpose of this program is to promote rigorous academic pursuits and to provide a wide variety of options to college-ready students. Taking a college course from a public college or university is free. That means no cost for tuition, books or fees. If you choose to attend a private college or university, you may have limited costs. (If a student fails a course, we will ask for reimbursement for the course and associated books.)

how to participate in college credit plus
Required- You must turn in a signed "Intent to Participate" form (attached below) to Sherry Poe in the high school guidance department (Mandy Tidwell for MS students) by April 1st of the school year prior to participation.
Students can earn college credit in 3 ways:
1.) Take classes here at the high school (see below for a course list and affiliated colleges)
2.) Take an online course through a local college while attending high school full-time (Must not exceed full-time status or go over allowed credits. See Mrs. Stierhoff for details)
3.) Take classes full-time on a local college campus (Usually best saved for Senior year).
College Credit Plus is a program that allows college-ready high school students to earn college credit and high school credit simultaneously. To participate in the program you must:
1.) Attend CCP meeting
2.) Take a placement test (ACT or Accuplacer) Note: Students must have ACT or Accuplacer score in order to gain acceptance. Students can contact the local college he or she plans to attend and schedule a free Accuplacer if he or she has not already taken the ACT or plans to do so prior to CCP enrollment.
3.) If taking a class offered at the high school, check "CCP" on your scheduling form and discuss this during scheduling meetings with your counselor.
4.) Return a signed Intent to Participate form to guidance by April 1st of school year prior to participation (form attached below)
5.) Apply to the college you wish to take courses from. (See below for list of colleges associated with courses in our building)- You may apply to more than one.
7.) If taking classes online or on campus at a local college, please meet with Mrs. Stierhoff. I will help you decide which classes to take, and how many credit hours you can take. You will then schedule a registration meeting with a college advisor to schedule your classes. Make sure to bring me a copy of your schedule so I can give you high school credit.

Transferology
Transferology is a nation-wide network designed to help students explore their college transfer options. This site will help students see how their college credit plus credits will transfer to different schools. Please be aware that some Ohio schools do not accept transfer credits from CCP courses, and some may only accept a percentage. I highly recommend CCP students to keep a profile updated so they are fully aware of how their credits will help them after graduation. Click the link below.
