College Credit Opportunities

AP Classes - Advanced Placement courses are intended to give students college-preparatory experiences in a rigorous curriculum.  Students enrolled in AP courses take the AP Exam in May.  Each college has its own policy regarding accepting AP course work for credit.  Parents and students can check with colleges to understand how the course work is used for additional credit.  The College Board has this information on their website at www.collegeboard.org.

• • AP Calculus AB

  • AP Calculus BC

College Credit Plus - Ohio’s College Credit Plus (CCP) options can help you earn college and high school credits at the same time.  Students who take CCP courses will earn transcribed college credit by taking college courses through colleges or universities.  Students can take CCP courses online, on a university campus, or embedded at our high schools.  The purpose of this program is to promote rigorous academic pursuits and to provide a wide variety of options to college-ready students. 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.  Anyone intending to participate in CCP MUST return the Intent to Participate form by April 1st of the year before the course is taken.  See your School Counselor for more information. You can also visit the Ohio Department of Higher Education's website for more information about CCP.

Please watch this year's video presentations of College Credit Plus & the SWCSD Accelerated Learning Center HERE.

The 2025-2026 Intent to Participate in CCP form for Grove City High School can be found HERE.  This form must be completed by all students interested in participating in CCP for next school year.

If you plan to take classes through Columbus State Community College, students must return the CSCC Permission Slip and the CSCC Student Questionnaire directly to CSCC.  This process can be found in the student's CSCC email.

If you plan to take classes online or on campus at Columbus State Community College, you must complete your registration using the CSCC Registration Form.  This form must be turned in to your GCHS School Counselor.
