Sandy Valley offers over 20 CCP courses on campus because we want to support educational goals and remove barriers that can happen if a student leaves our campus to take CCP courses. Stark State College, Kent State University Stark and Sandy Valley Local Schools have created a partnership that offers students an opportunity to take over 70 credit hours without leaving the high school. This will provide students the opportunity to earn an associate degree without leaving the high school. If available, the courses are taught by high school teachers who have met the requirements of adjunct professor status, and the course credit earned can be applied toward both high school and college graduation. The credit from the courses offered at Sandy Valley can lead to many different programs and majors based on transferability.
There is no cost for the student to participate in College Credit Plus when the student is enrolled in a public college or university. The school district covers the cost of college tuition and textbooks. Students who receive an F or withdraw from a College Credit Plus course after the 14th day of the college semester, will be required to pay for the course and the book fee. Students choosing to enroll in a participating private college or university may incur costs.
