Why CCP?
College Credit Plus (CCP) allows students in grades 7–12 to take college courses while still in high school at little or no cost to families. Students earn dual credit, meaning courses count toward both high school and a permanent college transcript.
CCP helps students explore career interests, challenge themselves academically, and prepare for life after high school. Courses may be taken at the college, online, or at the high school.
Because students are balancing high school and college expectations, planning is important. Students are encouraged to develop a success plan, identify supports, and select courses that align with their goals.
Participation in CCP can help students meet graduation requirements, remain OHSAA-eligible, and earn transferable college credit — giving them a strong start toward their future.
