General Information

DUAL CREDIT

Improving the educational attainment of Ohio citizens is key to ensuring the state’s long-term
success. Therefore, the state has committed significant resources across the education continuum
to develop and implement strategies to address this critical issue. College Credit Plus replaces the
Post-Secondary Enrollment Options program as of the 2015-2016 school year. The specified
courses offered at the Mayfield High School by a certified instructor will be the same as those
offered on the campus of Lakeland Community College.

The program is open to students in grades 7-12 who are able to meet specific qualifications
determined by the state, which include receiving a remediation free overall score on a college
readiness exam, such as the ACT, SAT or ACCUPLACER.

To participate, students must be enrolled in both college and high school. The student will earn
transcripted college and high school credit upon successful completion of the course. These credits
are acknowledged at public Ohio colleges and universities. Students are responsible for providing
intent to the counseling office by April 1st of the prior school year and for taking and earning
accumulative passing points for the necessary end of course exams at the high school, which act
as a graduation requirement.

Three or more semester credits will constitute as one Carnegie unit of high school credit. A student
may not take more than 30 college credit hours per year or 120 college credit hours throughout the
four years of high school.

Students will earn letter grades from the CCP course. Grades will be weighted on a honors/AP
scale dependent upon equivalency of course offerings. It will be reflected within the high school
transcript and calculated into the grade point average.

The student will have an Institution of Higher Learning Advisor and will meet at least once prior
to the institution’s effective no-fault course drop out date. An informational meeting for parents
and students will be offered at the high school and specifics can be found on the school website.

In regards to decision making, it is important to take into account learning style, pace, rigor,
weighting and future college applications. Therefore, it is necessary to seek advice from your high
school guidance counselor.
