College Credit Plus
Ohio’s new College Credit Plus can help you earn college and high school credits at the same time by taking college courses from colleges and/or universities. The purpose of this program is to promote rigorous academic pursuits and to provide a wide variety of options to college-ready students. Students from nonpublic high schools can apply for state funding to cover the cost of tuition, books, and fees for courses at a college or university. Bishop Watterson has an agreement with Columbus State for specific courses; however, you can choose to take College Credit Plus courses that would benefit your future from any college. This includes online courses.
Interested in learning about how to earn college credit while in high school? Plan to join the following College Credit Plus meeting to hear the various offerings from local institutions. Students planning to take CCP next school year are required to participate in at least one CCP Information session. Note: Another CCP meeting will be held January 29th at 7:00 pm via zoom for Bishop Watterson families that will include information on the steps to apply for state funding.
You are cordially invited to attend a joint College Credit Plus Information Session. This joint information session is a collaboration between the Educational Service Center of Central Ohio, Columbus State Community College, Franklin University, The Ohio State University, Central Ohio Technical College, and Otterbein University.
The information session is scheduled for Wednesday, December 6 at 6:30 p.m.
