College Credit Plus Costs:


(a) College Credit Plus opportunities have no cost to students, including the free option to attend public
institutions of higher education. School districts have the option to seek reimbursement for the tuition the
district has paid to the college on behalf of the student if the student receives a non-passing grade or withdraws
after the no-fault deadline date. However, students that are considered economically disadvantaged CANNOT
be asked to reimburse CCP costs.
(b) There is a potential cost of participation with a nonpublic/private institution of higher education. Private
colleges/universities have the option of charging a minimal fee to students.
(c) Students who are economically disadvantaged cannot be charged for anything related to College Credit
Plus. This includes students who choose to attend a nonpublic institution of higher education; they cannot be
charged a minimum fee. See Ohio Administrative Code 3333-1-65.6(2) for details and the definition of
economically disadvantaged.
(d) Monroe Local Schools is not a nonpublic/private school. For students attending nonpublic/private
secondary schools, students must apply for state funding to participate, and this funding may be limited for
students.

 

Criteria for student participation, including, but not limited to, the following:


(a) Parents and students must participate in a counseling session prior to participation (which may be included
as part of the Information Session).
(b) Important Notice:
"Students must submit a written notice of their intent to participate in the upcoming academic year,
by April 1, in accordance with section 3365.03 of the Revised Code, but may submit the written notice
of intent to participate as early as February 15. Students desiring to participate in College Credit Plus in
the summer are strongly encouraged to submit letters of intent and begin the admissions process
starting in February and prior to the April 1 notice of intent deadline in order to improve chances of
meeting summer registration timelines."
For students attending nonpublic/private secondary schools, students must submit their intent to
participate within the funding application. 

 

Appeal Options when missing the April 1 deadline:


Any student who fails to provide the notification by the required date may not participate in the program
during the following school year without the written consent of the principal, or equivalent administrator. If
the principal does not provide written consent, the student may appeal the principal's decision to the district
superintendent. Not later than 30 days after the notification of the appeal, the district superintendent or
governing entity shall hear the appeal and shall either grant or deny that student's participation in the
program. The decision of the district superintendent or governing entity shall be final.2
There is no appeal for missing the April 1 deadline for students attending nonpublic/private secondary schools
or homeschooled students.

the courses offered in that school and students may also participate online or at any other participating
institution of higher education, or any combination thereof.
