WHAT IS COLLEGE CREDIT PLUS? 

  • College Credit Plus (CCP) is a dual-credit program in the state of Ohio within which students may earn high school and college credits at the same time.
  • Students enroll and participate in college-level coursework
  • High school credit awarded for courses successfully completed under College Credit Plus may satisfy or exceed the graduation requirements and subject area requirements of the school district. All College Credit Plus courses will be computed into the high school GPA. Courses in the core subject areas (English, Math, Science, Social Studies & Languages) will be calculated using the Advanced Placement or Honors scale. Courses earning 3+ college credits will earn 1 credit for high school. CCP classes are semester courses.

WHY DO YOU DO CCP?

  • Increases access to college credits for high school students
  • Students do not have to pay for courses or textbooks when participating in this program.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

  • If you are an Ohio student in grades 7-12, you can apply for College Credit Plus admission.
  • Students who have met the required score on the ACT, SAT, or Accuplacer in at least one subject area in addition to meeting the admission standards of the college to which they apply (students must apply to the college that offers the course they wish to take even if they are enrolling in an in-house course)

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

  • There is a potential for minimal cost to students to participate in CCP if they enroll at a public college or university. Wadsworth School District covers the cost of college tuition and textbooks. Fees may apply for parking. 
  • Students who receive an F or withdraw from a college credit plus course after the college deadline may be required to pay the system and book fee.

HOW MANY CREDITS WORTH CCP CLASSES CAN I TAKE?

Students can earn up to 30 credits annually, including high school-only credits or middle school courses. The 30-credit annual maximum includes the summer semester, considered the beginning of the academic year. Students can earn a maximum of 120 college credits throughout the entire program. (OAC 3333-1-65.2) 
To determine the maximum number of credit hours a student can register each academic year, you must calculate credits by subtracting this formula's high school-only course credits. Each high school course in a core subject area is worth three credits.                   
30 - (# of High/Middle School-Only Courses X 3) = Max # Number of CCP Credits Per Year 
For example, if "John Smith" is taking Math, Science, and English in high school (3 courses = nine credits), his formula would look like this: 
30 - (3 X 3) = Max # of CCP Credits Per Year 
30 - 9 = 21 CCP Credits Per Year 
Therefore, John would take up to 21 credits worth of CCP courses for that school year.
