CCP Course Eligibility
Under House Bill 49, there are new rules specifying the courses that students are eligible to take under College Credit Plus (CCP). The Ohio Department of Higher Education has a guidance document summarizing this new rule.
Students are expected to complete fifteen hours of Level I courses before moving on to any Level II course for CCP. A Level II course is any course that is not specifically designated as Level I.
In general, these are the types of courses or credits students may be able to utilize towards fulfilling this "First 15" requirement:
- Transfer Assurance Guide (TAG) courses.
- Ohio Transfer 36 (OT36) courses.
- Career-Technical Assurance Guide (CTAG) courses.
- Other courses in Computer Science, Information Technology, Anatomy & Physiology, and Foreign Language.
- Courses designed to teach study skills and other skills for academic and career success.
- Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) test credits. Official AP/IB test scores must be sent to the University for consideration.
Students must still meet any University requirements or prerequisites to enroll in courses for CCP. Students may also test directly into Level II courses where appropriate. Consult your academic advisor for more details.
Placement Tests
Some courses, such as Math, English and Foreign Languages, may require a student to complete a placement assessment before enrolling in a course.
- Math: UC uses the ALEKS Math Placement Test. ALEKS is an online, un-proctored test that may be taken at any time, however, once the test is started, you have 2 hours and 30 minutes to complete it. Access the ALEKS test using your UC login. For additional information, please check UC's ALEKS FAQ page.
- English: For English courses, please access the English Self-Placement Assessment, using your CCP application login (not your UC login).
- French and Spanish: For French and Spanish courses, check out the French and Spanish Placement Questionnaire.
Please contact your advisor with additional questions regarding placement tests and subsequent scores.
Maximum Credit Enrollment
Students can enroll in a maximum of 15 credit hours per semester. Students who enroll in more than 15 credits will be asked to drop a course(s) or will be force dropped by the CCP department.
