13. Can CCP courses in American History, American Government, and Physical

Science/Biology meet the graduation requirements?

The requirements for high school American History, American Government, Physical Science and (in

some instances) Biology is that high school students take the end-of-course examinations and satisfy the

accumulated point requirement.

College Credit Plus courses, in the subject area, will satisfy the graduation requirement of American

History, American Government, Physical Science and Biology; and the college course grade earned

under College Credit Plus will substitute for the end of course exams as follows to quantify student

graduation point requirements:

14. Does the financial literacy requirement for HS graduation still apply to

students who take courses through CCP?

Integrating the concepts of financial literacy and economics remains a required activity of each school. It

is not a student graduation requirement. Under College Credit Plus, a student may take a college social

science or humanities course and that will satisfy the social studies graduation requirement. As in all

cases under CCP, there is no allowable “curriculum match” analysis between a secondary class and a

college course. A college course, in the subject area, will satisfy the student’s graduation requirement in

that subject area.

15. Is the College Credit Plus meeting mandatory if a student wishes to

participate in the program?

While students and parents are strongly encouraged to attend their high school’s College Credit Plus

information session (scheduled prior to April 1), attendance is not mandatory for College Credit Plus

program participation. Additionally, the high school MUST provide counseling services to students and

parents in accordance with Ohio Revised Cod

and both parent and student MUST sign a

form acknowledging that they received the high school’s counseling prior to CCP participation. A high

school (or district) may schedule a designated CCP counseling meeting for parents and students and

notify parents and students of the time and location of the scheduled meeting; however, the parents’ and

students’ attendance at the designated meeting cannot be a mandatory requirement for CCP student
