Allows students (grades 7 12) to earn transcripted credit for college courses while in high school.

What is College Credit Plus?

Earning dual college credit while in high school

• Governor Kasich signed H.B. 487, Summer 2014. Implementation begins 2015 – 16 academic year.

• Allows students (grades 7 – 12) to earn

transcripted credit for college courses while in high school.

• CC+ covers all former PSEO and dual enrollment

programs offered in the past. Courses can be taken at your high school, on a college campus or online.

Goals of College Credit Plus

• Create access for students to be admitted remediation free to a university

• Challenge students who are motivated and academically strong to complete college course assignments and expectations

• Allows students to explore academic areas and interests

• Creates more access to college courses by removing barriers such as free or reduced tuition

Who can participate?

• All qualifying students, grades 7 – 12

• Public universities and schools must participate

• Private universities and schools may participate

• Students must be admitted to a public or participating private university in Ohio

• Students need to meet the admissions criteria of the participating university which can

include GPA, pre-requisite coursework, Placement testing, etc.

Types of College Classes

• Classes can be offered:

• At the high school, taught by a qualified high school instructor or a visiting college

professor

• On a college campus

• Online

• College courses cannot be remedial. Courses need to be nonsectarian.

Potential Risks

• College coursework can be more rigorous and take more time to complete

• Transportation is not provided to college

campuses; high school and college campus schedules, Spring breaks, do not always align

• College course credits may not always transfer to out-of-state or private colleges (Be sure to ask each university)

Who Pays Tuition?

• Private high school students intending to take college courses will apply for state funding to cover tuition costs.

• Ohio Dept. of Education awards funding to Seniors first, then Juniors, etc.

• If students do not receive full funding for college courses taught at the high school, students can be charged a reduced tuition fee.

• Students who choose to take a college course on a private university campus can be charged a reduced tuition fee.

Who Pays Tuition?

• Private high school students who take

courses on a public university campus are not charged tuition.

• Books and fees are covered by the school district or universities.

• Students can be charged for parking and Fitness Center fees. Transportation is not provided.

• Any student who qualifies for economic disadvantaged status should see their high school counselor; tuition cannot be charged to these students.

Summer College Classes

• Students who wish to take summer college classes while they are still a high school

student will pay for tuition and books and all other university fees.

Impact on High School Graduation

• Graduation requirements are not waived

• Class of 2018 and beyond: 18 points on the State Assessments is still necessary with credit requirements

• Classes of 2016 & 2017: OGT is still required with credit requirements

• Students who wish to take replacement

courses through a university may do so but end of course testing for some state

assessments are still required

Impact on High School Graduation

• End of course testing required for:

English 1 and English II Algebra I and Geometry

• End of course testing may be waived for science and social studies if comparable college classes are taken:

• Physical Science and eventually Biology

• American History & American Government

How Do the Credits Work Together?

• Taking a college course will be dual credited and students receive BOTH high school credit and college credit. (1 high school credit is a Carnegie unit)

• 3, 4, or 5 semester credits = 1 Carnegie unit

• 2 semester credits = 2/3 Carnegie unit

• 1 semester credit = 1/3 Carnegie unit

How does CC+ impact high school graduation and the transcripts?

• High school credit from college coursework will satisfy or exceed graduation and subject area requirements.

• College classes are part of the student’s permanent college record and will stay with them.

• Students should consider their workload, rigor and their abilities.

• The GPA of high school AND college is impacted by these courses.

What if Student Fails a Course?

• Student will earn an “F” on both the high school and university transcript and will be computed into both GPA’s.

CC+, AP, IB, Honors – What’s Best?

• Selective admissions colleges look for

students who have the most rigorous courses

• Both the subject matter and level of rigor are considered

• Students should take Math all four years of high school

• Science and Foreign Language courses are highly rigorous

Transferring Credits

• Ohio’s Transfer to Degree Guarantee allows for easy transfer of credits from public college to public college:

Transferring Credits

Ohio Dominican University courses have very good success of transferring both to in-state and out-of-state public and private institutions

Ohio Dominican University is “transfer friendly”

and accepts AP, IB, public and private college credits and community college credits as

transfer credits

All ivy league universities should be contacted first to inquire what type of transfer credit they accept
