College  Credit  Plus  

A  GUIDE  FOR  STUDENTS  

2015-­‐2016    

College  Credit  Plus  (CCP)  is  a  statewide  program  that  provides  an  opportunity  for  qualified  high  school   students  to  take  college  courses  for  both  high  school  and  college  credit,  at  no  cost  to  the  student.   CCP  replaces  Ohio’s  Post-­‐Secondary  Enrollment  Options  program  (PSEO)  and  all  alternative  programs   including  Dual  Enrollment.  CCP  is  designed  to  promote  rigorous  academic  pursuits  and  provide  a  wide   variety  of  options  to  college-­‐ready  students.  It  is  open  to  students  in  grades  7-­‐12.    

To  participate,  a  high  school  student  must  apply  for  admission  to  a  public  community  college,  college,   university,  or  participating  private  college.  Admission  will  be  based  on  the  student’s  college-­‐readiness  in   one  or  more  subject  areas  (determined  by  standardized  test  scores,  high  school  grades  in  specific   courses  and  high  school  teacher  recommendations).  

At  Cincinnati  State,  qualified  high  school  students  may  take  courses  through  any  of  the  following   delivery  formats:  

• In  the  high  school  classroom,  in  traditional  classes  held  during  the  school  day,  taught  by  a  high   school  teacher  who  has  been  approved  to  teach  the  Cincinnati  State  course.  (Subject  to   availability  at  partner  high  schools.)  

• At  any  Cincinnati  State  campus  location  –  course  sections  taught  by  Cincinnati  State  faculty  at   the  Clifton  campus,  Cincinnati  State  West  in  Harrison,  or  the  Cincinnati  State  Middletown   campus.  

• Online,  through  courses  taught  by  Cincinnati  State  faculty  and  accessed  through  the  Cincinnati   State  Blackboard  Learning  Management  System.  (Requires  participation  first  in  an  introductory   online  orientation  session.)  

A  CCP  student  who  successfully  completes  such  a  course  will  have  college  credit  placed  on  a  transcript  at   Cincinnati  State  and  corresponding  high  school  credit  applied  toward  high  school  graduation.  Upon   graduation  from  high  school,  the  student  would  have  the  option  of  applying  their  credits  toward  a   certificate  or  associate  degree  at  Cincinnati  State  or  applying  to  transfer  them  to  another  college  or   university.    

Benefits  of  College  Credit  Plus  

(2)

• Allows  students  to  earn  simultaneous  high  school  and  transcripted  college  credits  –  at  no  cost  to   themselves  or  their  families.  

• Accelerates  a  student’s  college  career  and  provides  quality,  affordable  education  close  to  home.     • Provides  students  with  an  enhanced  range  of  course  options  

• Includes,  at  most  institutions,  courses  that  are  in  the  Ohio  Transfer  Module  (OTM),  which   guarantees  these  credits  transfer  to  other  public  Ohio  colleges  and  universities.  

• Lowers  the  overall  cost  of  post-­‐secondary  education,  by  reducing  the  time  needed  to  complete  a   college  degree.  

• Introduces  the  rigor  and  expectations  of  college  work.  

• Can  reduce  or  eliminate  overlapping  coursework  between  high  school  and  college,  and  in  some   instances  will  allow  them  to  complete  college  general  education  requirements.  

• Results,  at  Cincinnati  State,  in  the  assignment  of  all  CCP  students  to  an  advisor  who  assists  them   with  scheduling  and  topics  related  to  student  success.  All  CCP  students  have  access  to  the  same   student  support  services  provided  to  fully  matriculated  students.  

• Weights  CCP  courses  the  same  as  AP  and  IB  courses.   Risks  of  College  Credit  Plus  

Students  considering  College  Credit  Plus  should  be  aware  of  several  potential  risks  that  might  impact   decisions  to  participate.  

• Although  credits  earned  with  a  grade  of  “D”  or  better  in  Ohio  Transfer  Module  courses  are   guaranteed  transfer  to  all  public  colleges  and  universities  in  Ohio,  how  they  transfer  may  differ   depending  on  the  major.  Students  should  check  with  institutions  of  interest  regarding  transfer   policies  prior  to  CCP  enrollment.  

• College  transfer  credits  earned  through  CCP  are  generally  accepted  by  most  major  institutions.   However,  credits  are  not  always  guaranteed  for  transfer  toward  private  or  out-­‐of-­‐state  

institutions.  Students  should  check  with  institutions  of  interest  regarding  transfer  prior  to  CCP   enrollment.  

• Grades  received  through  CCP  are  reflected  twice  –  on  college  and  high  school  transcripts.  On   both  transcripts  grades  will  affect  respective  GPAs.  Low  grades  can  negatively  impact  potential   college  admissions  and  financial  aid  opportunities.  

• Students  taking  CCP  courses  on  campus  are  responsible  for  arranging  transportation.

this  information  during  mandatory  CCP  Orientation  sessions  at  the  participating  college  or   university.  If  a  student  fails  or  drops  a  course  late  in  the  semester,  the  student  may  be  required   to  reimburse  the  local  school  district  for  the  costs  associated  with  course  participation.  

• The  grade  earned  in  the  college  course  remains  a  part  of  a  permanent  academic  record  at  the   college  and  negatively  impact  a  student’s  status  as  a  first  time  freshman  at  their  chosen  college.   • The  college  schedule  will  be  followed  when  enrolled  in  college  courses  on  campus  or  online  and  

therefore  students  need  to  work  their  schedules  around  these  college  expectations.  

• Students  enrolled  in  college  courses  on  campus  tend  to  be  older  and  course  content  may  be   deemed  appropriate  for  a  more  mature  student  audience.

English  &  Social  Sciences:  

• Successful  completion  of  two  units  of  College  Prep  English/  Language  Arts  with  a  minimum   of  a  B  average  and  the  high  school’s  recommendation,  OR

The  formula  for  determining  credit  hours  that  a  student  may  take  at  the  college  is  as  follows:    

Take  the  number  of  secondary  units  scheduled  by  the  secondary  school  for  which  the  student  receives   only  secondary  school  credit,  then  multiply  that  number  by  three  and  then  subtract  the  result  from   thirty.  The  resulting  number  shall  be  the  total  number  of  college  credits  a  student  participant  may  earn   under  CCP  in  an  academic  year.  

The  maximum  number  of  CCP  credits  a  student  may  earn  in  an  academic  year  is  30  semester  credit   hours.
