What is College Credit Plus (CCP)?
Ohio’s 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.
Ayersville Local Schools offers a wide variety of college credit plus class. We have several teachers at Ayersville High School that are teaching CCP classes right in our own building. We have students taking online CCP classes at Ayersville during the school day. We also have students going to nearby college campuses to take CCP classes.
There are many requirements and deadlines with this program. We offer a College Credit Plus information night each year for parents and students to learn more. Please see Mrs. Niese for more information as well as the ODE website for CCP: http://education.ohio.gov/Topics/Ohio-Education-Options/College-Credit-Plus
Steps to participate in the College Credit Plus program for the 2023-2024 begin here:
If you missed the in-person College Credit Plus meeting on November 28, then you will need to complete this virtual information session if you would like to open the door to CCP possibilities in your schedule for next school year.
If you are at all considering taking any type of college credit plus course for the 2023-2024 school year, you must complete this required counseling session in order to do so, due to the risks involved in the program. It is just the first step. College credit plus is a complicated program and there are many steps involved. You must make sure you are following all the steps and understand all the risks to be able to participate. If you signed into the in-person session that was offered on November 28, then you have already completed this step! If you weren't able to make it to the in-person session then you will need to follow these steps below to start the process.
There are 3 steps to this virtual counseling process:
1) If you are interested, you and your parent(s) must click through and read every slide of this google slideshow (this meets the counseling session requirement). Start here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1o1TeSIsl1usb7Z3Xtar5Waci1WrXZh4d/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=114476053296565783171&rtpof=true&sd=true
You can watch this recording of the November 28 in person session to follow along with the slideshow- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zln3qdvCGQEWhezL_TeFWcKmxZvZTYGS/view?usp=sharing
2) Near the end of the slideshow, there is a link that you and your parent(s)/guardian(s) must click on that will bring you to the google form entitled "Ayersville College Credit Plus Information Counseling Session for the 2022-2023 School Year". (link to form in slideshow- https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdjzxSb57PZ_NkazwAHv3ymeZF2oQFAG4oZ7Pc_PdlB2N3B9g/viewform?usp=sharing)
3)You must complete and submit this google form in order to have proof that you have completed the required counseling session, and to receive further information.
Once you have submitted the google form, I will then send out the required Intent to Participate form to the email you provide in the form. This form is the next required step. It needs initialed and signed by parent(s)/guardians and is due back to Ayersville High School office by April 1, 2023. This is a deadline set forth by the Ohio Department of Education.
After that step is completed, the "door" to college credit plus courses opens up for you for next school year. You then must take and complete all admission steps to the college you wish to apply to and take your courses through. Failure to complete any of these steps, could mean failure to take CCP courses.
