1 An Introduction to College Credit Plus for Westerville Students & Families February 25, 2016

2 Overview of College Credit Plus (CCP) CCP is an opportunity for qualified students in grades 7-12 to take college classes before graduation. CCP Covers all dual credit programs including: on a college campus, at the high school, and on-line All public colleges must participate, private colleges can choose to participate.

3 Benefits of CCP Explore post-secondary interests Opportunity to enroll in classes not available at high school Exposure to college faculty/college expectations College credit may transfer easily (especially between public institutions within Ohio) Earn an industry credential (or be well on your way to earning one)

4 Options in your high school 10 CCP Courses will be offered in your high school next school year including: Business Technologies Department Computer Concepts and Applications (CSCI 1101) Fundamentals of Business & Administrative Services (BMGT 1101) Marketing Principles (MKTG 1230) Personal Finance (FMGT 1101) Science Department Medical Terminology (MULT 1110) Basic Concepts in Health Care (MLT 1100) Laboratory Theory for Health-related Professions (CLA 1100) Intro to Medical Coding and Reimbursement (HIMT 1274) English Department Composition I (ENGL 1100) Composition II (ENGL 2367)

5 Options on a College Campus Students can choose any course that applies toward a degree or workforce certification at a public (or participating private) college. Enrollment in courses is not guaranteed.

6 College-readiness determined by college. No minimum GPA required.

7 College Readiness May need to submit SAT or ACT scores for admission. Last opportunity to register for the ACT to apply for Fall, 2016 admission is March 4 (test date is April 9). Readiness also includes considering factors such as: Maturity Independence Interest

8 Planning on taking a course in your high school? Register with CSCC and once you receive your Cougar ID number, share it with WCS! Place into the course in one of three ways: Submit qualifying ACT scores to CSCC Take the Compass Test on a CSCC Campus Sign up to take the Compass Test at your school You must be registered and place into the course before the last day of school or you will be dropped from the course.

9 Maximum Credit Hours CCP limits students to 30 credit hours MAX per academic year and 120 hours total in the program Formula to determine eligible college hours: Take student s # of high school only Carnegie units and multiply by 3. Subtract that answer from 30. This will give you the number of hours for which student may earn in that academic year.

10 New this year: Summer Term Summer term will apply as the 1st term of the next school year. Summer 2016 begins the student s school year. A college s summer term may begin in May. There may be multiple sessions within a summer term.

11 Cost There is no additional cost to you to participate in CCP courses offered at a public college/university. There may be additional fees to participate in CCP courses offered by a private institution. Textbooks are included. Students are required to return at the end of the term. Optional fees not covered under CCP including: transportation parking

12 Credit Successful completion of the course results in earned credit on both your high school AND college transcript. Your CCP course grade will be reflected on both transcripts and follow the College s grading scale. CCP courses carry 1.25 weighted credit 3 semester hours or more = 1 high school credit

13 Points to consider Is this a right fit for me based on my strengths and goals? College courses may take more time. You are building college transcript. Courses may transfer differently to other institutions. Check out transferology.com to explore the portability of credits. College courses follow the institution s guidelines (dates in session, withdraw procedures). There is a financial obligation to reimburse the district if you fail or do not complete a course, including withdrawing with a W.

14 Find the Colleges and Courses that Fit Students have options! Sample pathways are highlighted in the HS Course Description Guide on pgs Pathways are courses to help guide you, not obligate you.

15 Find the Colleges and Courses that Fit Example: view OSU s College of Engineering page for more information about taking college courses in high school: View Davidson College s information on taking college courses while in high school:

16 CCP, AP, IB, Honors What s Best for YOU? Selective or highly selective admission colleges want students who have exhausted their high school college preparatory curriculum. If you are considering an Ohio public college, then AP, IB or CCP are good fits for you. HOWEVER, you will want to determine which is best for you and your learning needs. If you are considering a college outside of Ohio, AP or IB might be better options than CCP because they have more of a national reputation. Always look at credit by examination on potential colleges' websites to see what score you need to earn to receive credit.

17 Deadline for Students: By April 1, you must tell us if you intend to participate next year.
