College Credit Plus 2016-17: Overview

Ohio’s College Credit Plus can help you earn college and high school credits at the same time by taking college courses from community colleges or universities. The purpose of this program is to promote rigorous academic pursuits and to provide a wide variety of options to college-ready students. Taking a college course from a public college or university is free. That means no cost for tuition, books or fees. If you choose to attend a private college or university, you may have limited costs.

Your high school may have an agreement with a local college for specific courses; however, you can choose to take College Credit Plus courses from any college that offers a course that would benefit your future. This could include online courses.

New This Year:

• All public school, private school and homeschool students must declare their intent to participate, even if they participated last year. Letters of intent for each group can be uploaded in the “Forms” section below.
• To enhance data security, parents of private and homeschool students are required to establish a SAFE Account before their student can apply for funding.
• A summer session has been added this year. These sessions can start as early as May, so don’t delay in establishing your SAFE account and completing your letter of intent.
