A majority of prestigious private colleges do not accept CCP credits, and students might have to retake the classes. CCP credits also are not accepted outside of Ohio, even at public institutions.Feb 16, 2021
The Ohio State Academy Program is an opportunity for high school students to enroll in Ohio State classes through College Credit Plus.
Academic advising is available to all admitted CCP students taking courses at a partnered high school, on a UC campus, or online with a UC faculty mentor.
While earning college credits while still in high school may have some costs associated with it, they are mainly incidental charges (such as a fee to take an advanced placement test) compared with the cost of paying tuition at a two or four-year college.
Is the college credit I earned in high school through CCP guaranteed to transfer to another postsecondary institution? Thanks to Ohio's Transfer to Degree Guarantee, many entry-level courses earned at an Ohio public college are guaranteed to transfer to any other Ohio public college.
All public and participating private colleges in the state are listed at www.ohiohighered.org/ccp. Apply to the college or colleges of your choice. Once admitted to a college under College Credit Plus, the college will send your student an admission letter.
First-time freshmen must meet the following eligibility requirements: be a high school graduate or equivalent; complete the 15-unit comprehensive “a-g” pattern of college preparatory course; and earn a qualifying “a-g” grade point average (GPA) as described below.
On Campus/Online Admission Requirements3.0 unweighted high school GPA.2.75-2.99 unweighted high school GPA and. "B" grade or better in a least one high school English course and. "B" grade or better in a least one high school math course.ACT (18 ENGL/22 MATH) or SAT (480 EBRW/530 MATH)
With a GPA of 3.7, University of Cincinnati requires you to be above average in your high school class. You'll need at least a mix of A's and B's, with more A's than B's. You can compensate for a lower GPA with harder classes, like AP or IB classes.
The Bottom Line. If both AP and dual enrollment options are available to you, APs are usually the safer choice. Not only could you potentially earn college credit, but you'll also be exposed to rigorous coursework. This will demonstrate to admissions committees that you're willing to take a challenging curriculum.Dec 14, 2020
Many students believe that colleges prefer AP courses over dual enrollment courses or vice versa. However, this is generally false. Both kinds of courses provide students college-level rigor for a low cost.Dec 16, 2021
One of the biggest perks of AP classes is that you can get college credit as long as you score well on the AP Exam at the end of the semester. AP exams are scored on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest. Many colleges accept a score of 4 or 5 on an AP exam as college credit in that subject area.Sep 27, 2021
The reading component of the second of four pairs of integrated courses that develop reading and writing skills in English. Teaches reading and writing as processes, vocabulary development, study skills, critical thinking, and reading comprehension. Introduces expository essays, summaries and reading responses, compound verb forms and compound and complex sentence structures.
Last course in a three-part series of academic speaking and listening courses, it provides practice in complex communication tasks, including oral presentation s, with emphasis on sentence intonation and word stress. It continues the study of grammar begun in English 071 and 072, and prepares the student for note-taking, discussion and advanced reading skills necessary for college work.
English Courses. On the basis of placement tests in reading and writing, students are assigned to English courses at an appropriate level. There are courses at the pre-college level, including a sequence of courses for students learning English as a Second Language, as well as a variety of transferable college courses.
In all courses up through 099, students must receive a "pass" grade in order to take the next higher course in that skill. A "making progress" or "MP" grade indicates the need for an additional semester, but does not affect the grade point average.
The first in a three-part series of academic speaking/listening courses. Speaking and listening practice with basic vocabulary and sentence structure. The course parallels the study of grammar in English 081 and English 091, and provides the competence in basic listening and speaking in preparation for college work. Credit will not be applied toward graduation.
This course is the first of a two-part sequence in English composition, in which students learn to read critically, synthesize ideas from a variety of texts, and write essays that develop significant ideas in support of a thesis. Students will write academic essays in various rhetorical modes, while improving their basic writing skills in preparation for English 102 and other higher-level courses.
This course is designed for students enrolled in the certificate program in Creative Writing and is one of the last requirements for completion of the program. Students complete a portfolio of creative works and practice advanced editing and revision skills as well as textual analysis. The class consists of brief lectures, writing workshops and seminars on practical matters of interest to working writers. Individual conferences between students and the instructor may be used to complement group activities; special projects and activities may take place outside the classroom in an effort to connect the students to resources and writing communities beyond the College.
Allied Health 101, Introduction to the Health Care Professions, must be taken before 12 college credits have been earned. This course is a cornerstone of the Health Care Studies program, requiring students to define a career goal and outline the academic process required to reach that goal.
The program also enables students to graduate with an A.A. degree in Health Care Studies. While in the program, students may also opt to obtain a proficiency certificate to enhance their knowledge and skills of a particular area in health care and to increase their employment opportunities upon graduation from the College.
Students are typically required to take the College's placement tests at their time of entry. Students identified as needing developmental course work must satisfactorily complete the appropriate English and mathematics courses as a part of the degree program.
Students who register for more than 30 credit hours will be responsible to pay for the entire course that placed them over the 30 hour limit. Because that class is “outside of CCP,” public institutions of higher education must charge their regular tuition rate, unless obtaining a Chancellor approved tuition waiver. It is very important to note that students must be informed of the fact that they are over the 30 hours prior to the course starting date. Institutions of higher education must inform the school of all student registrations with a pre-term notice at least 14 days before the course begins. Secondary schools must review the notice (or multiple notices if students are registered with more than one institution) to determine the number of hours for which a student is registered. If the student is over the 30 hours, the school must inform the student of the option to drop the course before the census date or continue with the course as a “self-pay” student at the regular tuition rate.
The CCP program requires the use of state funds to pay student tuition, and requires colleges and high schools/districts to comply with many quality and student services. In order to assure that those quality measures are satisfied, a student’s participation in the program is dependent on the state-funded tuition.
Classes failed or withdrawn with an “F” (or equivalent failing grade) will receive an “F” on the high school and college transcripts and will be computed into the high school and college GPA. If you do not receive a passing grade, the district may, in some instances, seek reimbursement from you for the amount of state funds paid to the college on your behalf for that college course. The school district may withhold grades and credits received for high school courses taken until reimbursement has been made.
In order to determine the number of credit hours a student can take in a year, the secondary school must calculate the number of course credits that are for high school credit only and multiply that by 3. That number is then subtracted from the 30 hours. The result is the maximum number of credit hours a student can take in the College Credit Plus program. (This is based on a semester system.)
The Ohio Revised Code 3365.12 (A) requires: “All courses offered under the college credit plus program shall be the same courses that are included in the partnering college’s course catalogue for college-level, nonremedial courses …”.
Public colleges only receive SSI for Ohio resident students that meet law and administrative requirements as set forth in ORC 3333.31 and OAC 3333-1-10. The CCP statute does not exempt a student from the Ohio student residency requirements in Ohio Administrative Code 3333-1-10.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) indicates that a 1098-T form is a Tuition Statement that educational institutions must provide for each student they enroll and for whom a reportable transaction has been made ( https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1098-t#N#(link sends e-mail)#N#). Since your student participated in College Credit Plus and the tuition and other expenses were paid using State of Ohio funds in the previous tax year, the institution would have documented that transaction under your student’s account. Families can consult with a tax preparer or review additional information about this form to see if it applies to your tax return.
An applicant accepted or readmitted for full-time status by the College may be required to remit a $50 nonrefundable deposit within a specified time frame for Allied Health curricula. The applicant’s letter of acceptance will specify the date.
Although the tuition for Philadelphia residents is relatively low, students need to plan ahead and anticipate all costs for the period of enrollment. The basic budget for one semester at the College should include, in addition to the appropriate tuition and fees, the following estimates*:

When a student withdraws or merely stops attending, the student may no longer be eligible for the full amount of aid that the student was paid or scheduled to receive. Course withdrawals after the term begins will have a negative impact on students' academic progress standing and future financial aid eligibility.
First preference for admission to the College, and particularly to select programs of high demand, is given to Philadelphia residents. To qualify as a legal resident of Philadelphia, an applicant must meet all of the following requirements:
For financial aid determination, enrollment verification and other reasons, students are classified based upon the number of credits for which they are enrolled in a semester. 12 credits or more — full-time status. 9 -11 credits — three-quarter status. 6 - 8 credits — half-time status.
Placement Testing. Placement levels — in writing, reading and math — are used to determine if students will be placed into college-level courses or if they first need to enroll in developmental classes or pre-college workshops. Placement can be determined in various ways. To learn more, review the admission process.
Transfer Student. Applicants who have attended another college or university with earned college credits should apply for admission as transfer students. Applicants are responsible for having their prior earned college credits evaluated prior to course registration to avoid duplication.
Guest/visiting students are those applicants who do not plan to earn a degree from Community College of Philadelphia, and: are attending another college and taking courses that will be transferred to their home institutions, or. are only taking courses for personal or professional enrichment.
