College Credit Plus
(CCP)

All students at Carlisle High School may enroll at most state authorized colleges, full or part-time, in non-sectarian courses for high school and college credit or for college credit only and may be excused from school for a portion of each day.
PURPOSE OF CCP
The purpose of CCP is to provide appropriately qualified students with additional opportunities for learning through coursework at the university level. The college work should contribute to or supplement the broad academic preparation needed by high school programs.
PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY
Based on State legislation, to be eligible for CCP, the student must:
Inform the principal or counselor of CHS by March 30 of an intent to participate in the CCP the following year. (Only special permission from the Superintendent will allow later notice) and
With parent/guardian, attend an information and counseling session to be scheduled by CHS in March and
Be accepted by a participating college (having met the college readiness requirement) and registered for classes before August 10. (Notify high school counselor of registration.)
Financial Responsibility
Classes failed or withdrawn after the deadline will be computed into the high school and college GPA. Carlisle Local Schools will also seek reimbursement for the cost of the college course.
TRANSPORTATION
Responsibility for transportation rests with the student.

GRANTING OF CREDIT
High school credit (Carnegie Units) will be granted for the college courses using the following guidelines:
3 or more credit hour course = 1 full credit at C.H.S. 2 credit hour course = 2/3 credit at C.H.S 1 credit hour course = 1/3 credit at C.H.S.
College courses may be substituted for courses required for high school graduation based upon comparability of content. The student should have the credit approved by the principal or counselor prior to the start of the class.
If there is a disagreement about credit granted, the student may appeal to the State Board of Education for a final decision
