The University of Toledo
College Credit Plus Program
The College Credit Plus program offers highly motivated students the opportunity to simultaneously
earn secondary (high school) and postsecondary (college) credit for college-level courses at no
cost to the students or their families.
High school students can take part in the college experience, interacting with full-time college
students and University faculty, while earning dual credit by taking college-level courses.
A LEADER IN HIGHER EDUCATION AND
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
The University of Toledo has been a leader in higher education since 1872, and we’ve
brought that same faculty expertise and state-of-the-art online instruction to high school
students seeking a college-level education.
It is our goal to:
• Prepare students for the transition to college while in high school through instruction,
experience and support
• Use course delivery methods that are effective and efficient to engage
students’ minds
• Create virtual classrooms filled with students from around the world to enhance the
learning experience
• Make it easy to earn course credits towards a bachelor’s degree saving students and
families both time and money allowing students to graduate and enter the job market
before their peers
BENEFITS OF UT’S COLLEGE
CREDIT PLUS PROGRAM

while being recorded on a high school transcript on an AP or honors weighted grade scale.
• Each student is assigned a success coach who will help the student transition to post-secondary education,
assist with selection and registration, and be there as a resource to answer questions and resolve issues.
• All courses are taken with UT undergraduate students.
• All College Credit Plus students are considered UT students and have access to many benefits and student
support services.

Course Delivery Options
UT’S COLLEGE CREDIT PLUS COURSES CAN BE TAKEN IN A NUMBER OF WAYS, INCLUDING ON CAMPUS,
ENTIRELY ONLINE OR A BLEND OF BOTH (SOME ONLINE AND SOME FACE TO FACE).
All courses meet the highest education standards and are designed to be technologically advanced and engaging.
Online courses are built with our nationally recognized instruction design team, who work with faculty members to
ensure the classes meet learning objectives and are easy to access and use.
Course Types
WHAT KIND OF LEARNER ARE YOU?
UT offers several modality options in a number of general education courses that are Ohio Transfer Module (OTM)
compliant. However, our entire University course catalog is available to students in the In-person, on-campus modality if
published prerequisites are met. Please check to see which of these will meet the OTM requirements.
BLENDED: In this kind of class — also known as a flipped classroom — students complete much of their reading and
learning using online technology, such as watching videos and posting on the class message board. There is a set time
to meet in-person on campus, which is focused on discussions and group projects. The advantage of this type of class is
that it provides the best of both worlds; the convenience of online learning and the value of personal interaction and the
campus experience. This is also where some fun activities can come in, such as using the scientific labs on campus or
taking a field trip to the Toledo Museum of Art or the Toledo Zoo.
100 PERCENT ONLINE SYNCHRONOUS: In these types of courses, students go online to read content or complete
assignments at their convenience. Then, the class “meets” for learning and discussions via live video presentations
that allow the students and faculty to interact from different locations as if they were in the same room. These class
meetings will take place at a specific time on a specific day each week. Online activities will include videos and reading
assignments, threaded discussions, written assignments and group projects.
100 PERCENT ONLINE ASYNCHRONOUS: This course offering means students complete all of their work in
an online environment; there is no in-person classroom time. Students complete most of their course content and
assignments on their own time; sometimes, a live chat may be held.
IN-PERSON, ON-CAMPUS: In this type of course, students attend class on UT’s campus. They participate in lectures,
class discussions, assignments and tests in the classroom.
Multiple Courses in Multiple Modalities
Courses available in multiple modalities as described on the previous page include:
English Composition; College Algebra; Survey of Biology; Survey of Astronomy; World Regional
Geography; American National Government; Sociology I; Business Principles and Computer
Applications; Public Speaking; Art History and Visual Literacy; American Literature; Nutrition
and Healthy Living; Principles of Psychology; and Statistics.
Note: Many other courses are available in a traditional classroom setting, or 100% online.
Please check the course catalog online (utoledo.edu/offices/registrar/sch_classes.html) for information.
