  3. CCP Eligibility Review • College Transfer Pathway • High school junior or senior • Weighted 3.0 grade point average • Demonstrate college readiness on an assessment/placement test OR • Meet provisional eligibility criteria • 3.5 GPA; 2 yrs HS English and Algebra II with a C or better; written permission from HS principal and CC president; limited to math and ELA courses until college readiness is established by earning a C or better in those courses

  4. CCP Eligibility Review • Career & Technical Education Pathway • High school junior or senior • Weighted 3.0 grade point average, OR • Recommendation of the high school principal • Must meet all pre-requisites of the chosen career pathway

  5. CCP Eligibility Review • Students must maintain eligibility to continue in CCP • Continue making progress toward high school graduation • Maintain a 2.0 GPA for college coursework • GPA requirement effective with the second college course • Principals can revoke eligibility at any time

  6. CCP Eligibility Review • Cooperative Innovative High Schools Pathway • Be enrolled in a Cooperative Innovative High School • Early colleges, middle colleges, other models as well

  7. Why Promote/Use CCP?* • High school students who take college courses are more likely to attend and graduate from college • High school students who completed a college course before graduation were 50% more likely to earn a college degree w/in 6 years than those who did not • These findings held true for all racial groups and for students from low-income households * Source: NC New Schools

  8. Why Promote/Use CCP? • Help change the school culture through increased rigor and relevance • Engage students and raise their level of commitment to their postsecondary goals • Greater alignment between high school and postsecondary course expectations • Reduce the length of time to finance and earn a college degree

  9. CCP Update Overview • SBCC changes for CTE • CTE-related CFNC application process • Course weighting, the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement, and CT pathway changes • Dual credit • Course codes update

  10. CTE Program Changes • Re-authorized enrollment of students into two CTE programs of study; previously allowed only one. • CFNC application currently accommodates only one; NCDPI has requested an update to this functionality. • Addition of a second CTE program of study must be recorded manually until CFNC can update the application. • Students can still enroll in one CT and one CTE program of study, but not two CT programs of study.

  11. Course Weighting Reminder • College courses at the on the CAA currently earn Honors credit. • New Comprehensive Articulation Agreement includes revised transfer course list. • Generally, CTE courses do not receive extra weight. • A change to the weighting method will be approved by the SBE in August or September 2014. • Effective in 2015-16 (possibly 2016-17).

  12. Course Weighting Workgroup • Changes will include: • Assigning the same weight for college/dual enrollment college credit as for AP or IB • Narrowing the current weighting scale to the following: • 4 quality points for standard courses • 4.5 quality points for Honors courses • 5.0quality points for AP, IB, and college courses (including Project Lead the Way courses authorized for college credit)

  13. Dual Credit Reminder • “Dual credit” means HS credit for college courses. • Principals are not limited to only those courses (see GCS-M-001). • Dual credit decisions should always be made based upon course content • Does college course approximate or extend high school content standards? • Revisions coming, based upon new CAA and College Transfer pathways

  14. Course Code Reminder • PowerSchool has 2014-15 course codes available, including CTE codes • Code requests are still arriving • The code assignment process is very different. • Plan in advance for what you need! • “Emergency” requests will follow the standard code assignment process. • 2015-16 codes are scheduled to be available in October/November 2014.
