I have questions about CCP. Where do I start?
Do I have to test?
- All interested students must meet Ohio’s CCP program eligibility standard to consider CCP participation. This can be with qualifying test scores or GPA. (See below.)
- *Meeting CCP program eligibility is a separate requirement from meeting the prerequisite to take a particular college course.
- Course prerequisites, or course placement by test score, must also be met. This may mean:
- First completing an introductory course
- Testing (ACT or ACCUPLACER) to place into the course.
- Testing is required for placement into college English, Math and some Science courses.
- Seniors, who have met the statewide CCP eligibility standard, can be placed into college-level Math and English coursework through a multiple measures review of their Junior year transcript, by NCSC.
- Contact an advisor to discuss.
What steps do I complete with NCSC?
- Start by reviewing our CCP enrollment checklist. Submit your CCP application and required paperwork.
- Watch your email for updates.
How do I become CCP Eligible?
- There are three ways you can meet CCP eligibility. This is a statewide requirement that must be met in order to participate in CCP (OACC 3333-1-65.14).
- Review the options on the CCP Eligibility Chart here.
- Ohio’s Dept. of Education for CCP: https://highered.ohio.gov/initiatives/access-acceleration/college-credit-plus
When do I meet with my school counselor & start planning?
- Students should first meet with their school counselor to discuss the interest in CCP; also attend their school’s annual CCP information meeting with a parent/guardian (held between Oct.-Feb.).
- By April 1 annually, public school students must submit their Intent to Participate form to their school counselor.
- By April 1 annually, nonpublic and homeschool students must apply to the Ohio Dept. of Ed. for CCP funding (from Feb-Apr 1). ODE will not accept late applications.
- Familiarize yourself with important college dates and deadlines (application and testing, ACT or ACCUPLACER dates if needed, advising and registration, etc.).
Failure to meet state or college CCP deadlines will delay your enrollment one or more terms.
Planning Tools
- You can become CCP eligible based on your GPA, not test, and still have a variety of courses to consider.
- *Some courses will require placement testing for enrollment, in addition to meeting CCP eligibility.
- Work with your CCP advisor to build your individual course plan and pathway to your goals.
- Pathways help you plan and decide what CCP courses to take.
- Lead to future degrees, both at NCSC and for transfer credit opportunities.
- Consist of 15-30 college credit hours or more
- Ohio Transfer 36 and Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways are state developed pathways for transfer amongst Ohio’s public colleges and universities.
We can help you plan for success each step of the way.
- Our CCP Advisors/Success Coaches will help you select courses that align with your goals, and tips to navigate college. Stay in touch! Working together we can help you find the best route to your destination.
- Plan for the Tuition Freedom Scholarship (TFS). Recipients must earn between 6-9 college credits with NCSC and a 2.75 college cGPA to qualify for TFS. Scholarship and FAFSA deadlines must also be met.
- CCP Courses can help satisfy high school graduation requirements (PDF) and OHSAA eligibility.
- Work closely with your school counselor on understanding what you need for each of these requirements.
- Course descriptions and syllabi are found in the NCSC Catalog.
- In NCSC’s specialized CollegeNow & Sci-Med Academy cohort programs, students have the potential to earn their degree while also graduating high school. Advanced planning required.
- Students enroll full time in college coursework with a cohort of peers, who complete the program together.
Your high school or career center may have different deadlines that you will also need to meet for testing or scheduling.
Confirm with your school counselor.
