College Credit Plus
Presented by:
Kristin Skiles
What is CCP/CC+?
• College Credit Plus is an opportunity for qualified high
school students to take college classes before
graduation.
• New program starting in Fall 2015.
• Encompasses all dual credit programs into one
program.
– High School and College Credit (dual credit)
– Free of charge to participating students and families.
– Many modalities: on campus, in the high school and
online.
• Information is subject to change as the state is still
finalizing rules for the program. Mid February is
anticipated final rules date.
Why would I do self-pay?
• Only option available during the summer.
• May not want to have college classes on
the high school transcript. (not dual credit)
• Non-public and home school students may
do self-pay if they do not receive state
funding through CCP.
What does CCP cover?
• CCP students will have costs paid by the
school district which includes:
– Tuition
– Books (student may be required to return at the
end of the term)
– Fees
• CCP does not include:
– Optional fees like parking, gym membership, etc.
– Transportation
What are the benefits of CCP?
• Free college credit!
• Opportunity to enroll in classes not
available at high school.
• Exposure to college faculty/college
expectations.
• College credit may transfer easily
(especially between public institutions
within Ohio.
What are the risks of CCP?
• College coursework is more rigorous than
high school
– Pace is much faster – students will cover the
same content as a year-long AP course in a 15
week semester.
– College faculty expect more work to be done
outside of the classroom.
• High school calendar and college calendar
very rarely match:
– Colleges still in session on teacher in-service
days and Spring Breaks.
What are the risks of CCP?
• Financial Risk
– CCP legislation states the school district may
require families to repay the cost of tuition and
books for students who fail or withdraw from
classes past the posted deadline.
– Future Federal Financial Aid may be impacted
• Federal guidelines limit the amount of courses you may
attempt (even if they are taken while in high school) to
150% of the number of credit hours needed for a
degree.
• Federal guidelines also state that you must successfully
complete 67% of the courses you attempt.
What are the risks of CCP?
• Participation in college classes may take
time away from other activities.
– Students may need to limit involvement in
sports and other extra-curricular activities or
jobs.
• Transportation is not provided.
• Course credit may not transfer to private
or out-of-state institutions.
Who can participate in CCP?
• Students must be in 7th through 12th grade.
• Students must file letter of intent with their
high school counselor by March 30th.
• Students must meet the admission criteria
set by each individual institution.
Who should participate in CCP?
• Students who are highly motivated and
mature.
• Students who have interests beyond what
is available at the high school.
• Students who have the time to devote to
college classes.
Clark State Community College
• Admission Criteria:
– Complete CCP application and submit
ACT/SAT or Compass Placement Test.
– Students must meet all pre-requisites or corequisites of classes or appropriate Compass
scores to enroll.
– Students must attend a mandatory advising
session for each mode of taking classes: on
campus, online or in the high school.
Compass Testing
• The Compass Placement Test assesses a student’s
academic ability in reading, writing and math and
determines if the student needs developmental
coursework.
– CCP does not allow students to take developmental
courses so appropriate scores must be achieved.
• If you have not completed the ACT/SAT, you can
schedule to take the test at any of Clark State’s
campuses free of charge.
– If you do not get a qualifying score in one of the areas, you
can retest in that area one additional time for a $5 fee.
– If you still do not test appropriately, you will have to wait
one year to test again to enroll.
Services to Students
• As a College Credit Plus student, each
student will have all access to all of the
resources as a traditional student including:
–
–
–
–
–
–
Tutoring assistance
Health Center
Library services
College ID
Office of Accessibility services
A personal advisor to answer any questions
he/she may have about the enrollment process or
transferability of courses
Transferring of Courses
• Acceptance of credits is always determined by the
receiving institution! Contact the Admission Office at
the receiving institution to determine if your Clark State
credits will transfer.
• Transferology is a wonderful website to determine
course equivalencies at other institutions typically
within the state of OH: www.transferology.com.
• Clark State follows the Ohio Transfer Module (OTM),
Transfer Assurance Guidelines (TAG) and Career
Technical Assurance Guidelines (CTAG) for Ohio.
– State of Ohio system that guarantees transferability
between public institutions.
– Private and out-of-state institutions are not included in TAG
courses.
