Ohio Revised Code section 3365.06 provides two options for College Credit Plus enrollment. Based on the order in which the options are listed within the statute, these are commonly referred to as “Option A” and “Option B.” This summary sheet describes the two options available for College Credit Plus enrollment, payment, and credit earned.

A student can choose to self-pay for tuition and costs of all textbooks, materials, and fees associated with a course under Option A.

• The student must meet the CCP eligibility and college admission requirements and choose to take courses that are allowable under CCP.
• A student must choose this option before the college’s census date (usually 14 days after the start of term) by doing the following:
  • Student must notify the high school of the choice of Option A and the choice of receiving both high school and college credit or only college credit.
    • The credit received will be recorded on both the high school and college transcripts or college transcript only.
  • Student must notify the college to arrange for payment.
  • Student is not able to change options after the census date.
  • Student is billed directly by the college at the standard tuition rate, fees, and costs of textbooks.

A student can choose to utilize state funds for tuition and costs of all textbooks, materials, and fees associated with the course under Option B.

• The student must meet the CCP eligibility and college admission requirements and choose to take courses that are allowable under CCP.

When choosing Option B, a student will automatically receive both high school credit and college credit:

• Option B is the default option for CCP students.
• A student will be automatically enrolled under Option B unless the student notifies the high school and college of the choice of Option A (as described above).
• A nonpublic school or homeschooled student will automatically utilize the state-awarded funds under Option B.
  • If a nonpublic school or homeschooled student wants to enroll in additional college courses which are partially or fully exceeding the awarded college credit hours, the student can choose Option A and will be responsible for the entire cost of the course and textbook(s).

Notes:

1.  Under no circumstances are sectarian or remedial courses eligible for CCP Option A or B.

2.  If a student chooses to self-pay for college courses outside of the College Credit Plus program, the decisions pertaining to awarding credit are between the student, the secondary school, and the college. A student pursuing such options should be mindful that the student is not afforded the rights and protections afforded to students under the College Credit Plus program.

For the next question, use the following instructions:

Public School Students: the number of CCP hours you are eligible for is determined by the following formula:

30 - (number of High School units X 3) = number of Eligible CCP Hours

Example: 30 – (6 high school units X 3) = 12 CCP Hours

Non-public and Homeschool Students, please indicate below the total number of funding hours you were awarded for the 2022-2023 school year according to your funding letter recieved from the state.

Public School Students: please use the following example when completing the table below:

In this example, if the student had 6 eligible CCP hours, they would select their 6 hours for Option B and any additional hours would be Option A/Self-pay.

Non-public and Homeschool students: please use the following example when completing the table below:

In this example, if the student was awarded 6 hours from the state, they would select their 6 hours for Option B and any additional hours would be Option A/Self-pay.
