2025 College Credit Plus Information Night
For students in grades seven through twelve, the College Credit Plus (CCP) Program provides the opportunity to take classes at eligible institutions of higher education (IHE) at no cost to the student. These institutions include community colleges, post-secondary vocational-technical institutions, state universities, and many private colleges and universities (but not all). Students can take coursework in the summer, fall, or spring semesters.
The program aims to promote rigorous academic pursuits and a wider variety of options for high school students.
This guide provides more information to help parents and students determine if a student should participate in CCP. Please schedule an appointment with your student’s school counselor for additional information.
For information and resources from the State, visit the Ohio Department of Higher Education’s College Credit Plus website.
