NPAC to host College Credit Plus meeting

VW independent staff/submitted information 

Principals and guidance counselors from Lincolnview, Crestview, Vantage Career Center and Van Wert City Schools, as well as local college representatives will host an informational meeting for parents/guardians from 6-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, January 25, at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center.

The meeting will consist of a general session giving more information on College Credit Plus, as well as individual meetings with respective schools. There will be several colleges and universities in attendance.  

The Ohio Department of Education began the College Credit Plus program for all students enrolled in Ohio schools. College Credit Plus has two fundamental positions: 

1. Students must be enrolled in both college and high school. 

2. Students can earn transcripted college and high school credit upon successful completion of the course. 

Eligible students may need a qualifying college entrance exam score that places them in courses above a remediation level to participate. 

Parents or guardians who have students who might be interested in earning college credit during their time in high school, should plan on attending the meeting on January 25. Anyone with questions prior to the meeting should call the Student Services Office 419.238.2180 or Van Wert High School 419.238.3350.
