College Credit Plus CCP Presentation January 26, 2017
What is College Credit Plus (CCP) • CCP is a way for you to earn college and high school credit at the same time by taking college courses. • CCP replaces the old PSEO and Dual Credit programs.
Who can participate? • Students in grades 7-12 are eligible to apply for CCP to any public college or participating private college. The college will admit the student based on their college readiness in one or more subject areas.
How do students earn HS credit for college courses? • CCP allows high school students to earn college credit and apply that credit towards their HS graduation requirements. • Students who successfully complete a 3 credit-hour college course will result in 1.0 Carnegie unit earned at the HS. A 2 credit-hour course will result in 2/3 of a HS credit, and 1 credit-hour course will result in 1/3 of a HS credit.
How are HS graduation requirements affected? • HS graduation requirements will not be waived as a result of participation in CCP. Students must still meet all of the LHS graduation requirements. • Class of 2018 and beyond must also score at least 18 points on the end of course exams in the following subjects (English 9, English 10, Algebra I, Geometry, Physical Science (c/o 2018) Biology (c/o 2019), Government, and American History).
Where can students take college classes? • Students can apply to take classes at any public college/university or participating private college. • Students have various options as to where they can take classes based on the options provided by the college (@ the college, online). • Some classes at LHS may have opportunities to earn college credit built into them.
Will CCP grades appear on a student’s HS transcript? • Yes. HS credit will be awarded for any CCP course that is successfully completed. These courses will be listed on the student’s HS transcript and included in their GPA. • CCP courses will be weighted if LHS has an equivalent AP course in that subject area (ex. CCP English Course would be weighted because LHS offers AP English).
How does CCP impact athletic eligibility? • Students participating in CCP courses must still meet the eligibility requirements set by the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA). • Students must be passing the equivalent of 5 courses each semester with a 1.5 GPA to be eligible.
What courses are available through CCP? • Once admitted to a college for CCP, students may take any course in the college catalogue that applies towards a degree or professional certificate, in a subject area that the student is college-ready. • Students are not permitted to take remedial or religious courses through CCP.
Summer courses • Starting in the summer of 2016, CCP students will be allowed to take courses during the summer. • The summer term will be considered the first term of the academic year (17-18 SY). • Students wanting to take CCP courses during the summer will need to be scheduled in May. • LHS counselors will not be available during the summer to advise CCP students.
