College Credit Plus
Earn College Credit While in High School.
Get Started
Why not graduate from college sooner? Ohio’s College Credit Plus (CCP) program can help current high school students earn college credits by taking college-level courses from the University of Findlay. At Findlay, you can do undergraduate research, have personal faculty mentoring, become a leader and find yourself being a part of real-world employment opportunities. Our career-focused programs are built on a liberal arts foundation, and we incorporate hands-on learning into all programs. We invite you to experience the University of Findlay.

Frequently Asked Questions
First, you will need to submit the intent to participate form to your high school by April 1st. Students who do not submit the intent to participate form on time to their high school are not guaranteed participation in College Credit Plus.
Next, you will need to complete an online application to the University of Findlay. Make sure to complete the College Credit Plus application! Have your school counselor send UF a copy of your transcript (admissions@findlay.edu) and submit any needed test scores and/or forms. If you need to take the Accuplacer or placement tests you can schedule to do so through the CCP advisor.
Finally, sit down with your school counselor to discuss which courses you may need for graduation. If you are taking classes at your high school, you will work with your school counselor to ensure registration. If you are taking classes at UF or online, you should reach out to your campus advisor to schedule an orientation session before registering. You should work with both your high school counselor and your CCP advisor if you are taking classes both at the high school and at UF/online.
If you are a non-public or homeschool student, you will follow the same application process as public students. However, non-public or homeschool students must be admitted by April 1st if they intend to apply for state funding. More information about the state funding application can be found here. Once you have received your funding letter, you must forward a copy to Admissions. If you take additional credits outside of the amount funded, you will receive a bill from the university.
Students taking classes at their high school will be provided a list of options available at their high school through their school counselor. Students interested in taking classes at UF or online can access the course schedule online. Please be advised that all CCP students must complete 15 credit hours of Level I coursework first before taking any upper level classes.
If you fail a class, you will receive an F on your UF transcript, as well as your high school transcript. Some school districts may require you to reimburse them for the course. Depending on your overall CCP GPA, you may be placed on CCP Probation.
You have 14 calendar days from the start of the semester to decide whether or not you would like to stay enrolled in the class. On the 15th calendar day, the school district may require you to reimburse them for the cost of the course and a “W” will appear on your UF transcript. Students who withdraw from 2 or more courses in one semester, will be placed on CCP Probation.
Regardless of when you decide to withdraw from a class, you should discuss this with your school counselor. Once you have decided to withdraw, you must contact your CCP advisor in writing to request to be withdrawn.
You will need to request a transcript to be sent to your college or university online. If you are attending UF after high school, you do not need to complete this step but please request transcripts to be sent to UF from other colleges or universities you have attended. A helpful tip when taking CCP classes: keep all of your syllabi! Many times, colleges will ask to see these in order to determine if they’ll accept your credits.
