• Subtract that answer from 30.
• This will give you the number of hours for which student may earn in that academic year.
CCP limits students to 30 credit hours MAX per academic year
What about Summer Term?
CCP applies only during the academic year
Enrolling in summer coursework = Self-pay
Eligible for college credit only

Credit
Successful completion of the course results in earned credit on both your high school AND college transcript.
Your CCP course grade will be reflected on both transcripts.

Points to consider Is this a right fit for me based on my strengths and
goals? College courses may take more time and you’re building
college transcript.
Courses may transfer differently to other institutions. Check out transferology.com to explore the portability of
credits.
College courses follow the institution’s guidelines (dates in session, withdraw procedures).
There is a financial obligation to reimburse the district if you fail or do not complete a course.
