granting policies.
Costs for each test given are approximately $90 per test.

Revised Code Chapter 3365.

The program permits college-ready students, grades 712, who qualify for college admission and receive state
funding to participate. The bill establishes guidelines
and procedures for enrolling 7-12 grade students in the
program.

The postsecondary institutions to which this option
program applies are state-assisted colleges or
universities.

The legislation requires school districts to inform
students and their parents of this program on an annual
basis. Interested students and their parents must
attend a mandatory presentation every school year in
February and inform the High School Guidance
Department by March 30 of their intent to participate
in the College Credit Plus program.
