College Credit Plus
Westfall Local Schools
What is College Credit Plus (CCP)?
▪ College Credit Plus (CCP), formerly known as
PSEO, is a program that allows students in
grades 7-12 the opportunity to be enrolled in
both high school and college course work at
the same time.
▪ Students MUST apply for acceptance to the
university/college they would like to attend for
CCP
Continued…
▪ Students may enroll under one of the following options:
▪ Option A: You receive college credit but no high school credit for the
course(s) in which you enroll, unless your high school makes special
provisions for you. Under this option, you pay for textbooks, tuition, and
other fees, and may enroll for any fall, spring or summer semester.
▪ Option B: You receive college credit for the course(s) in which you enroll
as well as credit toward fulfilling high school graduation requirements.
Under this option, the Ohio Department of Education will pay for your
tuition and textbook charges, but enrollment is restricted to the fall and
spring semesters only. You may register for courses in the summer only if
you pay for tuition, textbooks, and other fees. Summer courses may not
apply toward your high school graduation requirements.
▪ Carefully develop your plan, including selecting the option and courses
you hope to take, with your high school officials before registering.
Important Things to Consider…
▪ Students involved in CCP will be taking college level courses.
▪ Students will be applying to a university/college and will be accepted to
that institution based on its admission requirements. Each institution
has its own admission requirements. It is the responsibility of the student
to look into these requirements through contacting the institution
directly or looking online.
▪ Westfall Local School District has no control over the acceptance of a
student to CCP or a university/college.
▪ It is the responsibility of the student to contact the university/college
he/she would like to attend for CCP.
Important Things to Consider…
▪ FERPA - CCP students are considered college
students upon participation in the program.
Under FERPA, college records are not to be
released to anyone, including parents, without
written permission from the student.
▪ Grades from CCP will appear on a high school
transcript.
▪ CCP is free to students. HOWEVER, if a
student fails a course, they MUST pay back the
cost of tuition and books for the failed course!
Letter of Intent
▪ If a student is interested in
participating in College Credit Plus
for the 2015-2016 school year,
he/she MUST sign a Letter of Intent
and return it to Mr. Rediger/Mrs.
Brown NO LATER than April 1st.
▪ This does not mean you cannot
change your mind. It is simply
required by the state of Ohio for
recording purposes.
