College Credit Plus
The State of Ohio enacted the College Credit Plus Program (CCP). This program offers all college-ready students, grades 7-12, the opportunity to earn college and high school graduation credit by successfully completing college courses. Students must meet the admission standards set by the college in order to attend. This program is free to students who take college courses at any Ohio public college or university.
