College Credit Plus

Ohio’s new College Credit Plus program can help you earn college and high school credits at the same time by taking college courses from community colleges or universities. The purpose of this program is to promote rigorous academic pursuits and to provide a wide variety of options to college-ready students. College Credit Plus is free to those taking a college course from a public college or university. That means no cost for tuition, books or fees. If you choose to attend a private college or university, you may have limited costs.
