3 Key Information Regarding Plain Local s College Credit Plus (CCP) Courses Students may participate in CCP by enrolling in college courses that are taught at GlenOak High School or by enrolling in college courses directly through the university/college. Students wishing to take a CCP course either at GlenOak High School or directly from the college/university must turn in an Intent & Records Release Form by April 6th. Additionally, these students must complete any applicable college admissions applications, turn in all required CCP course enrollment forms and teacher recommendation forms, and take all applicable college admissions placement tests during Spring of the previous school year. The deadlines for the completion of all such applications, forms, and testing appear at the end of this document. Students must meet all of the college or university s normal admissions requirements that exist for traditional college students as well as any minimum placement tests scores that may exist for courses in which the student attempts to enroll. In most cases, this will involve COMPASS or ACT testing, however, specific test requirements for each course appear later in this document in the course descriptions section. The college/university makes the final determination as to whether or not a student is admitted to the college and then enrolled in the CCP course. Students are responsible for retuning textbooks to the instructor at the end of the course. Students failing to return a textbook will be fined the cost of the book and a financial hold will be placed on the transcript and diploma until the fine is paid in full. There presently are no fees for any CCP courses affiliated with public colleges or universities (private colleges or universities may charge a fee). However, students who earn a final course grade of F will be required to pay fees to Plain Local Schools to cover the tuition fees that Plain Local will be required to pay to the college/university for that particular course. Enrolling in a CCP course means that the student is committed to taking the course. Both parent and student should have a discussion regarding the seriousness of taking a college course and ramifications of the grade and credit earned by the student. Parents and students are encouraged to contact the student s high school counselor with any questions or concerns. Parents are required to attend the CCP Information meeting held at GlenOak High School, which will take place on February 26th at 6:00 PM in the GlenOak High School Theater or to acknowledge they have read and are aware of all information in this CCP guide. College Credit Plus students will: o be taught by GlenOak High School faculty who are adjunct college/university instructors or by instructors from the college/university in CCP courses that take place AT GlenOak High School o use textbook and course materials that are selected by the college/university o follow the college/university course objectives and learning outcomes o earn both high school credit and college credit o start (or continue if student previously took dual enrollment courses) their college transcript o earn a weighted grade equal to that of other advanced standing courses (AP Courses) in the same subject area that exist at GlenOak High School 3

4 Transferability of Credit Earned Through Plain Local s College Credit Plus Courses It is strongly recommended that students speak with admissions staff at colleges or universities they may be considering attending to check if the CCP courses they plan to take will fulfill a degree course or elective requirement. All credits earned from courses marked OTM or TAG will transfer to any Ohio Public College or University. o We recommend that students go to the college/university website and check the degree course requirements for the degree they are thinking of pursuing and also go to or These websites will provide information on what the CCP course will transfer to at the chosen university or college. For example, a student should learn if the English CCP course he/she takes at GlenOak High School through Stark State College will fulfill the English requirement at an Ohio public college or university such as Kent State or Ohio State. Later in this College Credit Plus Guide, there is a listing of all CCP courses offered AT GlenOak High School that includes the college course number, college course title, and potential college credit hours to be earned for all CCP courses offered here at GlenOak High School o Students will want to find out what courses they need to take at the college/university they plan to attend The college/university a student attends after high school graduation has the last and final word of what CCP courses are accepted for degree course requirements. It is the student s responsibility to contact the college admissions and verify. It is strongly recommended that students keep each course syllabus and obtain a college transcript at the end of each college academic term to verify that all the college credits completed at GlenOak High School appear on the college transcript. o Plain Local Schools does not assume any liability or responsibility for what appears on the student s college transcript. GlenOak High School counselors can assist in answering questions. 4
