Scheduling Overview
• When scheduling their College Credit
Plus and MHS classes, students need to
make sure they are not taking more than
30 college credit hours during an
academic year and 120 college credit
hours total over all CCP years.
• 15/30 hour track located on our Guidance
website
Finance
Students attending a:
– public college will not be charged for tuition, books, or fees
– private college may be charged based on the particular private college
and where the course is delivered, in accordance with law.
Some financial considerations to take into account:
– All transportation costs are paid for by the student.
• This could include:
– Personal vehicle
– Parent ride
– Parental permission to ride with another student
– Laketran (discount provided for Lakeland students)
– Any student who fails to complete a college course, whether through a
formal “class drop” process, an earned “F” , or non-attendance, are
responsible for reimbursement of the tuition to the Madison Local
School District.
– Any tutoring or special fees associated with classes are the
responsibility of the student and family
Example: Private Tutoring
Academic Credits
• College credits are NOT the same as high
school credits.
• 3+ college credit= 1 high school credits
– For example:
• American Literature: 4 college credits= 1 high school credit
• Composition: 3 college credits= 1 high school credit
• 2 college credit = 2/3 (.66) high school credit
• 1 college credit = 1/3 (.33) high school credit
Schedule Options
• CCP students can:
– Take all of their coursework at the college
OR
– Take part of their coursework at MHS and part
of it at the college (blended schedule)
Things to Consider
• Students are able to get weighted grades in college level
classes as designated (Science, Social Studies, English,
and Math). This may impact your ranking and GPA.
• Students are required to attend their CCP classes even if
Madison is closed that day and vice versa.
Things to Consider Cont.
• Many colleges are encouraging students to stay at the high school
and take rigorous courses which include the honors and the AP
courses in order to be well prepared for college.
– Do you have a GPA of 4.0 or higher?
– Is your class rank pretty high?
– Are you going into a career that includes medical, science, or
math?
– After high school, are you planning on attending a small private
school with a specific/competitive program?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, we recommend
that you reconsider participating in the CCP program.

Student’s Social Responsibility
• If you attend CCP, the students and teachers at
the college will not treat you as a high school
student, but will have the same expectations of
you as a college student.
• If there are any problems, FERPA prevents the
colleges from informing the parents or the high
school. This increases the responsibility of the
student to adhere to all family and age-related
rules.
