College Credit Plus/AP
College Credit Plus
A student enrolled at North Ridgeville High School may be eligible to participate in the College Credit Plus Program (CCP). This is an opportunity for students to take classes at eligible post-secondary institutions. The purpose of this program is to promote rigorous academic pursuits and to provide a wider variety of options for high school students. The legislation for this program requires parents and students to receive counseling regarding the program from the post-secondary site and that a letter of intent for the upcoming school year be submitted to the guidance office no later than April 1 of the current school year. The completed CCP application is due to the guidance department no later than June 1..
IMPORTANT: To ensure that a college credit plus course meets North Ridgeville High School graduation requirements, the course must be authorized by your high school guidance counselor. Students accepted into the CCP program must meet placement requirements and may need to take a college placement test. All students will work with a college advisor regarding course placement and course registration.
Colleges and universities enrolling students are reimbursed by local school funding for tuition, textbooks, materials, and fees. Parents are required to reimburse the school district for incomplete or failed CCP courses and other related charges. Students participating in CCP will be required to provide their own transportation to and from the college.
