What is College Credit Plus? • College Credit Plus provides an opportunity for qualified high school students to take college courses and earn college credit, at no cost, while still enrolled in high school. • College courses result in both transcripted college credit and high school credit toward graduation. • Upon graduation, CCP students can continue their education at Cincinnati State or transfer their college credit to another Ohio college or university.

Low grades can negatively impact potential college admissions and financial aid opportunities. • The grade earned in the college course remains a part of a permanent academic record at the college • College transfer credits earned through CCP are generally accepted by most major institutions. However, credits are not always guaranteed for transfer toward private or out-of-state institutions. Students should check with institutions of interest regarding transfer prior to CCP enrollment. • Students taking CCP courses on campus are responsible for arranging transportation. • Students can be liable for tuition/fees • The college schedule will be followed when enrolled in college courses on campus or online. • Academic content may be deemed more appropriate for a mature student audience.
