College Credit Plus

College Credit Plus (CCP) allows students in grades seven through 12 to earn college and high school credits at the same time by taking courses at Tri-C. The program promotes rigorous academic pursuits and provides a wide variety of options to college-ready students. Courses taken through the CCP program are typically free, with no out-of-pocket cost for tuition, books or fees.

Participating universities/colleges :

Who may take advantage of the College Credit Plus Program?

  • Any authorized student enrolled in Ohio public schools, nonpublic high schools, or homeschooled in grades 7,8, 9, 10, 11, 12 may choose to participate (unauthorized students include, but are not limited to, foreign students who are not part of an exchange program, out-of-state students and students coded as unauthorized through EMIS.) 

    • Note: Students attending a nonpublic high school or who are homeschooled are able to participate as long as the high school or parent has filed the proper paperwork with the Ohio Department of Education.

What is the application deadline for prospective College Credit Plus students?

  • Students who wish to participate in the College Credit Plus Program must complete an Intent to Participate form and submit it to their school district currently by April 1 every year they wish to participate.  

  • If a student misses the April 1 deadline, the student can seek consent from the principal to participate. If the principal does not provide written consent, the student may appeal the principal’s decision to the governing entity or the superintendent of the school. The decision of the district superintendent or governing entity shall be final.

  • Cuyahoga Community College requires that all application materials (including testing or submission of appropriate ACT/SAT scores) be submitted prior to registering for CCP courses. 

Can I participate in CCP if I am a high school athlete?

  • Check with your middle/high school counselor to ensure that the course work you are taking is compliant with the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA).
