What does CCP Cover?

• CCP students will have costs paid by the school district. This includes:

• Tuition• Books (student may be required to return at the end of the

term)• Fees

• CCP does not include:

• Optional Fees (parking, gym membership)• Transportation

Self-Pay

WHY WOULD I DO SELF-PAY?

1. Self-pay students may not want to have college classes on the high school transcript

2. Self-pay students may want to take Dev-Ed, or remedial, courses (if available)

3. Non-public and Home School students may do self-pay if they do not receive state funding for CCP

Maximum Credit Hours

• CCP will allow a student to earn 30 credit hours in one academic year• Students can earn a maximum of 120 college credits, 7 – 12 grade.       

Formula to determine eligible college hours:

• Take student’s # of high school Carnegie units and multiply by 3. • Subtract that answer from 30. • This will give you the number of hours for which student may earn 

in that academic year. 

Non-Public and Home-Schooled Students

• Funding is by application and is not guaranteed

• Must submit letter of intent and application

• Will receive notification of award—credit hours may be limited

• If awarded, must submit copy of award letter to college/university

• Grades earned in CCP courses will be included in the high school grade point average, which will be a factor in selective admissions

• Colleges will have a variety of admissions policies – check with the school of your choice for more details

CC+, AP, IB, Honors—What’s Best?

• Selective admissions colleges look for students who have the most rigorous courses

• Both the subject matter and the level of rigor are considered

rigorous• Challenge yourself by taking classes that push you, either
