Eligible Courses
Course Options: Once students are admitted to a college/university for CCP, students may take courses in the college/university course catalog that are not remedial or religious, that apply toward a degree or professional certificate, and in a subject area in which students are deemed eligible and college- and career-ready. There are constraints to the types of courses that are available to students as defined by the State of Ohio:
- Students must start with Level I courses for their first 15 credits
- Exceptions may be made for students to continue with courses in the same subject, test directly into a Level II course, or have earned the required scores on AP or IB course examinations
- Once students have completed their first 15 credits, they can move onto Level II courses
Students should review the course catalog of the college/university for a full listing of course offerings eligible for CCP participation. Parents and students should also speak with their school counselor and their assigned postsecondary counselor for more detailed information.
