Ohio’s College Credit Plus program allows you to earn both high school and college credit simultaneously by taking courses through community colleges or universities. The program’s goal is to encourage academic challenge and offer a broad range of opportunities for students who are ready for college-level work. Credits earned transfer to most Ohio public colleges and universities, and often to private or out-of-state institutions (though transferability varies).
