Students interested in earning college credit during their time in high school should plan on attending.

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:

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