Planning on taking a course in your high school? Register with CSCC and once you receive your

Cougar ID number, share it with WCS!http://bit.ly/WCSCougarID

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.

Maximum Credit Hours

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.

CCP limits students to 30 credit hours MAX per academic year and 120 hours total in the program

New this year: Summer Term

Summer term will apply as the 1st term of the next school year. Summer 2016 begins the student’s 2016-2017 school year.

A college’s summer term may begin in May.

There may be multiple sessions within a summer term.

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

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

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.

Find the Colleges and Courses that Fit

Students have options!

Sample pathways are highlighted in the HS Course Description Guide on pgs. 22-23.

Pathways are courses to help guide you, not obligate you.

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: https://engineering.osu.edu/academics/college-coursework-high-school

View Davidson College’s information on taking college courses while in high school: http://www.davidson.edu/offices/registrar/course-registration-and-webtree/pre-college-credit

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.

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