College Credit Plus A semester college course of 3 or more credits counts as a one-year high school class.

How many college classes can I take? High School 21 CCP Credits = 21 College Credit Hours English You might be wondering how many college classes you can take. Here’s how it works. If you attend a public high school, you’re issued 30 CCP credits per year. Those credits can be used for college classes. Your high school will keep track of how many credits are used up. Each time you take a class on your high school campus it counts as three credits. So, if you take English, Math, and History at your high school, you’ll have 9 fewer credits to use on college classes. Each remaining CCP credit can be used for one credit hour of college courses. So in this case, you can take 21 credit hours at a college. Assure each student does not exceed full-time status. Calculate full-time status as follows: 1) Determine student’s number of high school ONLY units, 2) Multiply that number by 3, and 3) Subtract the result from the number 30. 4) That number is the total number of college credits that CCP student may earn that academic year Math History

College Credit Plus You want to take college courses to satisfy your high school graduation requirements. You completed your high school graduation required classes and you want to begin college work. Meeting your high school graduation requirements should come first. It is recommended that you take the college courses once you are further along in your high school curriculum. Some classes such as taking Government at the college will require you to also take an economics course to fulfill your High School requirements. You want to explore college and take a course in a subject that interests you.

College Credit Plus If you fail the course or drop it too late, you may have to pay for it. Classes failed or withdrawn with an “F” will receive an “F” on the high school and college transcripts and will be computed into the high school and college GPA. If you do not receive a passing grade, the district may, in some instances, seek reimbursement for the amount of state funds paid to the college on your behalf for that college course. The school district may withhold grades and credits received for high school courses taken until reimbursement has been made.

Is Your Student Ready? Things to consider: College Credit Plus Is Your Student Ready? Things to consider: Is your student mature enough? Do they have reliable transportation?
