    WHAT IS COLLEGE CREDIT PLUS?
     
    College Credit Plus (CCP) is a dual-credit program in the state of Ohio within which:
    • Students may earn high school and college credits at the same time.
    • Students enroll and participate in college-level coursework

    WHY DO YOU DO CCP?

    • Increases access to college credits for high school students
    • Students do not have to pay for courses or textbooks when participating in this program.

    WHERE DO I TAKE CCP CLASSES?

    • Jackson offers in-house CCP courses to support students' learning and remove barriers when a student leaves campus (transportation, schedule conflicts, etc...)
    • Jackson offers the opportunity for students to earn an associate's Degree through a partnership with Stark State College.
    • If you leave the JHS campus, classes can be taken on the college campus of any of our partner schools: Kent State Stark, Stark State, Akron University, Aultman, Malone University, or Walsh University.

    WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

    • Students who have met the required score on the ACT, SAT, or Accuplacer in at least one subject area in addition to meeting the admission standards of the college to which they apply (students must apply to the college that offers the course they wish to take even if they are enrolling in an in-house course)

    HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

    • There is a potential for minimal cost to students to participate in CCP if they enroll at a public college or university. Jackson Local School District covers the cost of college tuition and textbooks, and fees may apply if students participate in private college or university courses. 
    • Students who receive an F or withdraw from a college credit plus course after the 14th day may be required to pay the system and book fee.

     

    FAQs

    HOW MANY CREDITS WORTH CCP CLASSES CAN I TAKE?

    Students can earn up to 30 credits annually, including high school-only credits or middle school courses. The 30-credit annual maximum includes the summer semester, considered the beginning of the academic year. Students can earn a maximum of 120 college credits throughout the entire program. (OAC 3333-1-65.2)
     
    To determine the maximum number of credit hours a student can register each academic year, you must calculate credits by subtracting this formula's high school-only course credits. Each high school course in a core subject area is worth three credits.
                         
      30 - (# of High/Middle School-Only Courses X 3) = Max # Number of CCP Credits Per Year
     
    For example, if "John Smith" is taking Math, Science, and English in high school (3 courses = nine credits), his formula would look like this:
     
    30 - (3 X 3) = Max # of CCP Credits Per Year 
    30 - 9 = 21 CCP Credits Per Year
     
    Therefore, John would take up to 21 credits worth of CCP courses for the 2020-2021 school year.

    Fall 2023 Book Request

     
    For CCP classes taught at JHS: You will receive your books from your
    the classroom teacher and should return your books to the same teacher.

    For CCP classes taken directly through a college:
    STUDENTS MUST REQUEST CCP BOOKS FROM JHS BEFORE ENQUIRING
    WITH YOUR COLLEGE. Getting books from the college without authorization
    from JHS could result in students being charged for the books purchased.



    Returning CCP books: CCP books obtained at JHS TLC or purchased
    through a college bookstore must be turned in to Mrs. Williams at JHS TLC
    (remember, books received through the college bookstore are purchased by
    JLSD). Fall and Spring books are due the day after your final exam. Summer
    books are expected by the end of the first week of the Jackson school year. Books not
    returned by their due date will be charged to your student fees (total
    purchase price).

    Rental Books: If you are issued a rental book from a college bookstore, it must
    be returned to the college bookstore by the due date set forth by the college to
    avoid charges.
