College Credit Plus

College Credit Plus Informational Meeting

Tuesday, January 24, 2023 at 6:00pm, BHS auditorium

You have until April 1, 2023 to notify your school counselor if you intend to participate in College Credit Plus 2023-2024 school year.

Ohio’s new 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 College Credit Plus 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.

The student/family will be required to reimburse Bedford City School District under three circumstances: 1) If the student receives a failing grade at the end of the college course; or 2) If the student withdraws from or drops the college course subsequent to the 14th calendar day after the particular course began. 3) If the student enrolls in the same course during the samPursuant to Section 3365.09(C), neither a school district nor a nonpublic school shall seek reimbursement if the student is identified as being economically disadvantaged in accordance with Ohio Administrative Code 3333‐1‐65.6(B)(2). We will withhold grades and credits received for high school courses taken until reimbursement has been made.

Students may be placed on CCP Probation or CCP Dismissal if their performance in CCP courses fall below a minimum standard, their overall GPA in CCP courses drops below 2.0, or they drop multiple CCP courses within a semester. Students may appeal the consequences to the superintendent.

We have an agreement with Lorain County Community College where we offer several college classes right here at the high school, 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.

You and your family should contact colleges for information, application forms, and criteria for acceptance into College Credit Plus. Some materials are available from your high school counselor and at the college's website. You must go through the procedures established by the colleges/universities to apply to College Credit Plus and to enroll in the course(s). You may have to take a college placement test to make sure you are college-ready.

Students may earn up to 30 credit hours per academic year. In order to determine the number of credit hours a student can take through CCP in a year, the secondary school must calculate the number of course credits that are for high school credit only and multiply that by 3. That number is then subtracted from the 30 hours. The result is the maximum number of credit hours a student can take in the College Credit Plus program. If students would like to take more than the maximum number of credit hours, the student can arrange to register and pay for those additional credit hours as a “self-pay” student. Those hours would be outside of the College Credit Plus program.
