We welcomed Sarah Bogdewiecz one evening last week to share with students and families all that they need to do in order to apply for the College Credit Plus (CCP) opportunity.
What is CCP?
The College Credit Plus (CCP) program in Ohio began in 2015, allowing eligible high school students to take college courses. The program is free for students.
Before CCP, districts could participate in a voluntary dual-enrollment program called the Post-Secondary Enrollment Option.
In 2024, the Ohio Senate passed Senate Bill 104 to increase access to CCP.
How it works:
Students in grades 7–12 can apply for CCP.
Students can take CCP courses at their high school, on college campuses, or online.
Students earn both high school and college credit for CCP courses.
Students receive college credit without taking an exit exam (as with AP Courses).
Benefits
CCP makes college more affordable.
CCP gives students the opportunity to earn college credits while still in high school.
In order to participate in CCP, it is necessary to complete the entire application process. In the link below, you will find the slide show that Sarah presented last week.
While the information in the link below is specific to Ohio University, students are able to apply to the college/university of their choice. Much of the information in this slideshow will be helpful regardless of which school students decide to attend.
