private college may be charged based on the particular private college and where the course is delivered, in accordance with law.
Some financial considerations to take into account:
All transportation costs are paid for by the student.
This could include:
Personal vehicle
Parent ride
Parental permission to ride with another student
Laketran (discount provided for Lakeland students)
Any tutoring or special fees associated with classes are the responsibility of the student and family
Example: Private Tutoring

10. $ Billing $
Exceeding 30 college credit hours will result in billed hours for student to pay to the college.

fails to complete a college course, whether through a formal “class drop/withdraw” process
earns a letter grade “F”
or non-attendance,
*are responsible for reimbursement of the tuition to the Madison Local School District.
(College tuition varies at each institution)

11. Is CCP for me?
Many colleges are encouraging students to stay at the high school and take rigorous courses which include the honors and the AP courses in order to be well prepared for college.
Do you have a GPA of 4.0 or higher?
Is your class rank pretty high?
Are you going into a STEM career that includes medical, science, or math?
After high school, are you planning on attending a small private school with a specific/competitive program?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, we recommend that you reconsider participating in the CCP program.

12. Things to Consider
Students are able to get weighted grades in college level classes as designated (Please view course equivalency chart). This may impact your ranking and GPA.
Students are required to attend their CCP classes even if Madison is closed that day and vice versa.
When applying to a college after high school, you should request an official transcript from the CCP college you attended, as well as your high school transcript.

13. Pros/Cons Benefits Risks -expands curriculum offerings
-higher level of rigor
-earn college credit
-financial support
-exposure to the college setting
Risks
-increased responsibility
-increased financial obligations
-reduced opportunities or time for participating in high school activities

14. Student’s Social Responsibility
If you attend CCP on site, the students and teachers at the college will not treat you as a high school student, but will have the same expectations of you as a college student.
If there are any problems, FERPA prevents the colleges from informing the parents or the high school. This increases the responsibility of the student to adhere to all family and age-related rules.

15. Transfer Assurance Guides (TAG)
TAG is a resource to help parents and students identify equivalent, or equal, approved courses at Ohio public institutions of higher education.
TAG will help you choose courses that will transfer to and/or possibly go towards your program of study at another Ohio public college or university.
