WHY WOULD I DO SELF-PAY?

the high school transcript
2.  Self-pay students may want to take Dev-Ed, or remedial,
courses (if available)
3.  Non-public and Home School students may do self-pay if they
do not receive state funding for CCP
Maximum Credit Hours

•
CCP will allow a student to earn 30 credit hours in one academic year Students can earn a maximum of 120 college credits, 7 – 12 grade. Formula to determine eligible college hours: •  Take student’s # of high school Carnegie units and mulEply by 3. •  Subtract that answer from 30. •  This will give you the number of hours for which student may earn in that academic year.
