Parent Contract for College Classes

PCA Parent Contract for Career and College Promise Courses

Parents are required to read and sign a CCP Parent Contract before students can be enrolled in college courses. See below.

Career and College Promise (CCP)

Parent Contract

By signing this form, the student and parent/guardian understand and acknowledge the following policies and eligibility requirements:

Academics:

1. Students must earn a grade of “C” or better for a course to count towards a degree at CCC and to transfer to a four-year college or university. 

2. Students are required to follow the course sequencing policies related to their approved pathway(s). This may mean that students will not be able to take all courses offered if they were not successful in the prerequisite course. 

3. To maintain eligibility for college classes, a student must make progress towards high school graduation AND maintain a 2.0 GPA in college coursework (college GPA is unweighted). A student who falls below 2.0 GPA will be subject to CCC’s policy for satisfactory academic progress. (See CCC Student Handbook for additional information.)

4. Final grades from college courses will be included on the PCA high school transcript. Grades will affect both CCC and high school GPA. 

5. CCC grades will not be on PCA progress reports. It is the student’s responsibility to monitor progress. 

6. Parents and/or guardians cannot be given access to their child’s student accounts (Blackboard, MyCleveland, etc.).

7. PCA staff do not have access to student grades or attendance for college courses.

Schedules/Attendance:

8. CCC classes taught on the CCC campus and some online courses may have a different start date and follow a different academic calendar than CCC classes taught on campus at PCA. Students are responsible for attending even when the schedule varies.

9. CCC does not recognize or distinguish between excused and unexcused absences. It is the student’s responsibility to contact instructors and keep up with work. 

General:

10. Students may only register for courses within their approved pathway(s). (See link for admission requirements for each pathway.)

11. Adding Courses: Deadlines for adding courses may differ from PCA.

12. Course Withdrawals: Students may not drop/withdraw from a CCC course taken onsite at PCA after the first five days of the PCA semester. Students who are dropped by an instructor due to attendance will receive a failing grade in the course on the high school transcript. Students must maintain a full schedule (4 courses per semester) at all times. 

13. It is the responsibility of the student to have books, supplies, and transportation for class. Courses taught on PCA campus may have books supplied by PCA. 

14. Classes taken through CCC are college courses and are taught at the college level. Some courses may contain sensitive or controversial content and require students to take a mature approach to class material.  

15. Students with an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) requesting accommodations must submit disability information to Nedra Maddox at CCC (maddox@clevelandcc.edu) in order to determine appropriate accommodations under Section 504 or ADA, which may differ from IDEA.

16. Contact person for all issues related to college classes is PCA’s assigned Career Coach, Mrs. Katie McDaniel: mcdanielk148@clevelandcc.edu and 704-669-4056.
