College Credit Plus Administrators

For Tearchers

High school teachers’ credentials are reviewed on a rolling basis by the Office of the VPAA in consultation with the Associate Vice President for Learning and Innovation. When there is a question about credentialing, the corresponding Faculty Liaison (FL) is asked to contribute to the review. Continued participation as a Concurrent Enrollment Instructor (CEI) is dependent upon approval and meeting the instructor responsibilities outlined below.

• Teacher Registration Form (one for each teacher)
• Resume for each teacher
• Transcripts (official or unofficial) for teachers new to the program

A master’s degree in the content area or a master’s degree in education which includes the equivalent of 18 semester hours of advanced training in the relevant subject (i.e. content-specific graduate courses, workshops, seminars and curriculum development). Relevant tested experience may also be considered as part of the credentialing process.

• One year experience teaching the course at the high school level.
• Recommendation of the district superintendent and building principal.
• Recommendation of the UF faculty based on successful completion of the summer workshop.

Prospective instructors attend new instructor training prior to teaching the UF course. If they choose, they may enroll for graduate credit at no cost and receive graduate credit for successfully completing the workshop. Upon successful completion of initial training, instructors return to campus each summer for an annual re-training day. In addition, professional development support is provided throughout the year by the Faculty Liaisons who mentor the instructors.

Textbooks used in the CCP courses must be approved by the faculty liaison to ensure that the texts are appropriate for the course and align with course learning outcomes.

All UF courses, both on-campus and CCP, use the standard syllabus template that includes all elements required by the University. While instructors have the academic freedom to modify some elements, the course catalog description and learning outcomes are always included.

Faculty liaisons review CCP syllabi at the start of each semester, making sure these syllabi have these elements as well as the grading scale for the course, agreed upon grading distribution, and assessments.

CCP teachers may need to use their Findlay email accounts to utilize web-based course management functions and to receive Findlay correspondence. Schools or their districts agree to provide internet access for teachers to UF’s Learning Management System.

Enrollment in the CCP courses will adhere to caps for the course on-campus. High school classes must agree to respect the class size limits for those classes in which students are enrolled for UF credit even if not all students in the class are taking the course for CCP credit. If more than the permitted number of eligible students desire to enroll in the class, a diagnostic test may be administered to assist schools in selecting the students for the class or a second section may be opened. These sections should be evenly balanced.

Students in grades 10-12 must have at least a 2.5 GPA and either a 250 on the Reading Next-Generation Accuplacer test or a 20 composite score on the ACT. Students with a 3.0 GPA or higher are not required to submit a test score unless needed for math or science placement.

Students in grades 7-9 must have at least a 3.0 GPA and either a 250 on the Next-Generation Reading Comprehension Accuplacer test or a 20 composite on the ACT.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. For best course registration results, it is recommended that students complete their application for summer by April 1, fall by June 1, and spring by December 1.

Students must have a completed Intent to Participate form on file at their home school district.

Students will need to complete the online application for College Credit Plus and have their school submit their transcript (high school students) or most recent report card (middle school students), along with any required test scores, their signed permission slip and course selection sheet to complete their application.

Additional test scores may be needed to register for specific courses in math or science.

Upon successful completion of a course, each student may request a transcript from The University of Findlay. Students are graded using the University of Findlay’s grading scale for the course. The University is an accredited institution, which means that credits earned will likely transfer seamlessly to another Ohio institution. However, UF recommends that students contact the registrar’s office of prospective colleges prior to enrolling in UF CCP courses to inquire about credit transfer or visit the Transferology website. More information on requesting a transcript is available at the Office of The Registrar.

Students may receive a bill if they attend a non-public school and do not receive state funding. Students who exceed the state maximum of 30 credit hours per year of CCP coursework will receive a bill for additional hours taken.

Students are graded using the University of Findlay’s grading scale for the course.
