Getting Started with CCP

CCP Information Nights are held annually between October and February, hosted by your school district or Educational Service Center. If you miss it, review a recording of the information, which covers important rules, dates, benefits and risks. High Schools will invite colleges to attend and be available for questions.

Step-by-step Instructions

Your application cannot be reviewed for CCP Eligibility & Program Admission until NCSC receives all required items on the enrollment checklist:

1. Transcript:
   High school students, please ask your school counselor to send a high school transcript with your GPA and SSID number.
   Middle school students, please ask your school counselor to send your grade report signed by the principal, along with your SSID number.
2. CCP Eligibility Requirement:
   Meet this Ohio requirement through one of the options listed here, and on the CCP Eligibility Chart linked here (PDF).
3. CCP Permission Slip:
   This required document (electronic) must be signed by the student and parent/guardian. The form is located within your NCSC Admissions Account, under Supplemental Items.
4. Student Questionnaire:
   This required enrollment document (electronic) must be completed and signed by the student. The form is located within your NCSC Admissions Account, under Supplemental Items.
5. Test Scores (*if needed):
   If you have taken the ACT, or the ACCUPLACER for another college, please be sure NCSC receives your scores. Your high school can include your ACT scores on your transcript. You may need to confirm with your guidance office if your ACT scores will be on your transcript.

CCP Program Eligibility can be met without test scores if your unweighted GPA is 3.0. For a GPA between 2.75-2.99, this along with documentation of earning an ‘A’ or ‘B’ in qualifying high school English and Math courses will meet the criteria and open up a variety of courses to consider. Without placement test scores, students are restricted from taking College English, Math, Statistics, and certain Science courses.

*Regardless of GPA, placement testing is needed to register for certain CCP courses.

Courses in College English, Math, Statistics, and Science require a placement assessment for course registration.

You will be notified by email of your CCP admission.

Documents, along with any questions, can be sent to ccp@ncstatecollege.edu.
Transcripts and documents containing sensitive information can be uploaded here.
