College Credit Plus

COLLEGE CREDIT PLUS (CCP)


Students have the option to take college courses during high school.  All public universities/colleges in the state of Ohio participate in CCP; private universities/colleges may elect to participate in CCP.  A student participating in CCP would receive both high school and college credit on their transcripts regardless of the grade earned.  Any CCP courses taken at a public university/college would be free of cost to the student and his/her family unless the course is failed or dropped after the allowed drop deadline, which would then be required to be reimbursed to the school district.

An intent to participate form must be turned in to the student’s counselor by March 30 prior to the school year in which they intend to enroll in college courses. Students may earn up to 30 credits per school year depending on the number of high school courses they are also taking.

Enrollment in CCP courses may affect the student’s OHSAA and NCAA eligibility.  Students and families must seek out advisement with their school counselor to determine CCP eligibility and verify proper options in working towards graduation requirements.  A final grade of F in any CCP course means the student/family are responsible for ALL associated costs of the course.

College Credit Plus Explained

Is your student interested in learning more about earning college credits while still in high school? Students have the opportunity to take college classes for both high school and college credit through local partner colleges, such as OSU-Newark, COTC, MVNU, and Shawnee State University, if they qualify. Students have the option to go off campus for courses on college campuses or take CCP credit courses taught by GHS staff, conveniently during the school day. GHS in-house CCP offerings are primarily only offered to 11th and 12th grade students at this time. We held an information session last week, and if you wish to view the recording, click this link and use the passcode: b6=rYE.R
