Students must prove college-readiness to be eligible to take college credit courses

Courses award both credits toward a high school diploma and a college degree
College credits earned do not change state credit and testing requirements for a high school diploma.
New LawThe high school may not restrict student participation
in any way, may not determine the student’s eligibilityThe college determines eligibility (for both courses on
campuses, online), usually with or non-remedial test scores COMPASS, ACCUPLACER, or ACT/SAT
A student who does not prove readiness via his/her testing scores may earn eligibility by meeting the particular college’s regular admission requirements (e.g. cum GPA, college preparatory coursework, essays, letters of recommendation) for on-college-campus courses
The college cannot require a higher GPA for high school students’ eligibility than for applying freshman
NewAny student, grades 7-12, may choose to earn
eligibility and participateThe student and parent must give notice of intent

Cautions CCP course grades follow a student to college
and are reviewed as a part of his/her college admission application
Financial risk in event of failure or withdrawal Coordination of college and high school
schedules and year-long calendars – there are no guarantees and it is the student’s responsibility to figure out
Student responsibilities require independence◦ Intent to Participate form, testing, solicitation
of admission requirements, completion of application to CCP program, course registration, college orientation meeting, deadlines, transportation to/from, parking, trouble-shooting …
Potential loss of connection to high school community, activities, experience
Exposure to adult university environment ◦ young adult ways, freedoms, subject matter
