91²Ö¿â

The College Credit Plus program is designed to allow college-ready students entering grades 7-12 who qualify for college admission the opportunity to earn high school and college credit.

The middle/high school and college share the costs according to a formula established by the State of Ohio or a negotiated agreement. Students who withdraw from or fail classes, fail to return books, or return items in a damaged condition may be responsible for the associated costs. Homeschooled students are required to purchase their own books.

Interested students should do the following:

1. Attend a College Credit Plus Information Session at their high school or 91²Ö¿â. Notify your school district of their intent to participate in the program by April 1, even if you think you may wait until the following spring semester to attend.
2. If you do not have a 3.0 unweighted, cumulative high school GPA at the time of application, take the Accuplacer exam or submit ACT or SAT scores. Scores need to be available prior to the application deadline.
3. Complete the 91²Ö¿â College Credit Plus Admission Application and submit the required documents. All required documents should be received by the application deadline

Students can generally take any class at 91²Ö¿â for which they meet the prerequisites and/or placement criteria. Careful coordination with the high school guidance counselor is necessary in order to be sure all high school requirements are being fulfilled. Admitted students will meet with their College Credit Plus advisor to select and register for classes and should do so in consultation with their high school guidance counselor.

The state allows CCP students to take up to 30 credits a year. This includes summer courses and courses taken at the high school.CCP students can earn a maximum of 120 college credits.

Students participating in this program can anticipate a high level of course content, rigor, and expectations as found in all college-level class. This is true regardless of whether the course is delivered online, on the college campus, or at the high school. Students should carefully consider whether they possess the academic ability, social and emotional maturity necessary to succeed in college-level courses, and willingness to participate in classes with students and professors of varying ages and backgrounds

Credits earned as a College Credit Plus student apply to 91²Ö¿â degree programs and will transfer to other colleges just as they would for a traditionally-enrolled student. 91²Ö¿â students are subject to the degree requirements that are in effect when they enroll as a new freshman. Many entry-level courses earned at an Ohio public college are guaranteed to transfer to any other Ohio public college. Credits earned at private colleges, or those that you want to transfer to an out-of-state institution, will be evaluated by the institution you are planning to attend. Check with the college you are planning to attend to see how your College Credit Plus courses transfer. The below resources are also helpful in understanding transfer credit:
