ENHANCE YOUR HIGH
SCHOOL EDUCATION
THROUGH CCP AT
FRANKLIN UNIVERSITY
College Credit Plus (CCP) is designed for highly motivated and
accomplished Ohio high school students who want to gain an
understanding of advanced academic work and prepare for
further studies.
If approved by your local school district, you may be eligible to take college courses under CCP.
As a CCP student, you can choose to earn only college credit or both high school and college
credit. However, college courses taken through CCP should supplement your high school
education, not replace or substitute coursework available at your high school.
Franklin University does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, age, national
origin, disability, or veteran status in admission of students, educational programs and policies,
employment, and other activities.
Students seeking accommodations for disabilities should contact the Office of Disability
Services at 614.797.4700 or access@franklin.edu.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR CCP All CCP applicants must take Franklin
University placement examinations
and place into WRIT 120, College
Writing. If a CCP applicant wishes
to take math courses or courses
for which prior math credit is
a prerequisite, students must
achieve placement into MATH 150,
Fundamental Algebra. Testing
into a lower level of math will not
hinder a student’s application for
admission, rather, the student would
not be eligible to take math courses
or courses for which math is a
prerequisite if accepted.
PROGRAM REGULATIONS All CCP students must attend a
mandatory orientation coordinated
by the Franklin University CCP
academic advisor. PF 121, Basic
Learning Strategies, must be
successfully completed by all CCP
students before any other college
coursework can be attempted as
required of all Franklin University
students. This two-credit-hour
course will count toward any
total credit-hour allotment
provided by the student’s high
school guidance counselor.
