COLLEGE CREDIT PLUS (CCP)
COLLEGE CREDIT PLUS (CCP)
Beginning with the 15/16 school year, College Credit Plus (CCP) replaces all previous dual enrollment
programs. Students in grades 7-12 can earn high school and college credit upon successful completion of the
course. If the student only receives college credit upon subsequent enrollment in that college only, then it is
not part of College Credit Plus. Additional information is available at www.ohiohighered.org/ccp.

If the CCP teacher is employed by the district, then the district reports the staff data including the
credential ID on the course. Location IRN in this situation would be the IRN of the college regardless of
where the class is located.

If the CCP teacher is not employed by the district and is employed by the college, then all 9’s can be
reported for the credential ID and the Location IRN on the course would be the IRN of the college
regardless of where the class is located.

Non-Public and Home Schooled students who participate in CCP do not need to be reported by the
district of residence for purposes of CCP. Colleges will receive SSIDs from ODE for non-public or home
schooled students who have never been assigned an SSID.

Attendance will still be reported for time spent in CCP the same as it was for PSEO.

Report separate courses or sections for CCP and Non-CCP students. In other words, all students in a
CCP course or section must be participating in CCP.
CCP Funding Districts receive initial funding for both student percent of time and sent to “PS” percent of time.
 Colleges submit enrollment, course and fee information within 15 days of start of course.
 Funds are subsequently transferred to colleges based on college data which will be approved/flagged
by districts in a new module in ODDEX (coming soon).
 Districts will have a 45 day window to object to the college data in ODDEX. Once the 45 days have
passed without an objection, the college will be funded.
CCP EMIS Reporting Student FS Standing Record
 Courses/Course Sections/Course Section Assignments
 High School Credit Earned by CORE Area on Core Summary Record (From Course)
 College Credit Earned by CORE Area on Core Summary Record (In DASL- StudentInformation >

FS Standing – Student Percent of Time and Sent to Percent of Time Grades 9 through 12 Students
o Percent of Time and Sent-To Percent of Time should be calculated based on the total amount of
credits the student plans to attempt for the school year.
o Divide time as accurately as possible. “There is no set formula for allocating % of time. While
the division of time should be as accurate as possible, ultimately it is up to the district to
determine the division that makes the most sense such that the combined total is correct” (ODE
Ticket 2648153)
o Convert college semester hours to high school course credit equivalency prior to calculating
Percent of Time and Sent-To Percent of Time
For EACH individual college course3 or more college semester hours = 1 HS Credit
2 college semester hours = .666 HS Credit
1 college semester hour = .333 HS Credit
o To calculate FS Standing Percent of Time and Sent-To Percent of TimeHS Credits + (College Semester hours converted to HS Credit) = Total Credits
HS Credits divided by Total Credits = Percent of Time
Converted College Credits divided by Total Credits = Sent-To Percent of Time
Percent of Time and Sent to Percent of Time cannot exceed 100
Examples of 9-12 students taking CCP
1. Student will take 4 HS credits at the HS and one, 3 college semester hour course through CCP.
Convert the one, 3 college semester hour course to 1 HS Credit. 4 HS Credits plus 1 HS Credit
equals 5 HS Credits. 4 divided by 5 equals 80 for the Percent of Time, and 1 divided by 5 equals
20 for the Sent-To Percent of time.
2. Student will take 4 HS credits at the HS and two, 3 college semester hour courses though CCP.
Convert the two, 3 college semester hour courses to 2 HS Credits. 4 HS Credits plus 2 HS Credit
equals 6 HS Credits. 4 divided by 6 equals 67 for the Percent of Time, and 2 divided by 6 equals
33 for the Sent To Percent of time.

Grades 7 and 8 Students –
o Percent of Time and Sent-To Percent of Time should be calculated based on instructional time.
o Divide time as accurately as possible. “There is no set formula for allocating % of time. While
the division of time should be as accurate as possible, ultimately it is up to the district to
determine the division that makes the most sense such that the combined total is correct” (ODE
Ticket 2648153)
o Instructional time can be based on periods of the day. For example, a student is taking 6
periods of regular instruction and one period of CCP. This can be calculated a number of ways
based on the definition in the EMIS guide, however the simplest method is to base the Percent
of Time on 6 periods and the Sent-To Percent of time on one period. In this example, it would

be 6 divided by 7 equals 86 for the Percent of Time, and 1 divided by 7 equals 14 for the SentTo percent of time. Percent of Time and Sent to Percent of Time cannot exceed 100.

Weighted GPA’s- There are 2 methods that can be used to “weight” the GPA on a course. If the district
chooses the LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY method, the extra weight for the mark is PART of the calculation method. If
the district chooses the ADD ON GPA method, then extra GPA points are added to the GPA after it is
calculated. Please contact MDECA if you are considering setting up either of these options.
Credit Units- The district determines the amount of High School credit awarded to a student.

title will fit precisely into the list found in Section 4.7; therefore the best match should be used. IMPORTANT:

Once the student has earned the CCP credit, you need to update the College Credit Management screen with

the College Credit Management page: StudentInformation > Management > Ad-Hoc Updates > College Credit
Management. Note: Scheduled CCP courses will be listed under the EMIS Student tab. The transferred and/or
manually entered CCP courses will be listed under the Manually Entered Courses tab.
The College Credit Management screen lists all students that have at least one course marked “Is Dual Credit”
– so make sure you are updating the correct student AND course.
You can update both current courses that have been marked as Dual Credit on the course section as well as
manually entered courses.
