13. Can CCP courses in American History, American Government, and Physical Science/Biology meet the graduation requirements? The requirements for high school American History, American Government, Physical Science and (in some instances) Biology is that high school students take the end-of-course examinations and satisfy the accumulated point requirement. College Credit Plus courses, in the subject area, will satisfy the graduation requirement of American History, American Government, Physical Science and Biology; and the college course grade earned under College Credit Plus will substitute for the end of course exams as follows to quantify student graduation point requirements:

14. Does the financial literacy requirement for HS graduation still apply to students who take courses through CCP? Integrating the concepts of financial literacy and economics remains a required activity of each school. It is not a student graduation requirement. Under College Credit Plus, a student may take a college social science or humanities course and that will satisfy the social studies graduation requirement. As in all cases under CCP, there is no allowable “curriculum match” analysis between a secondary class and a college course. A college course, in the subject area, will satisfy the student’s graduation requirement in that subject area. 15. Is the College Credit Plus meeting mandatory if a student wishes to participate in the program? While students and parents are strongly encouraged to attend their high school’s College Credit Plus information session (scheduled prior to April 1), attendance is not mandatory for College Credit Plus program participation. Additionally, the high school MUST provide counseling services to students and parents in accordance with Ohio Revised Code 3365.04(B) , and both parent and student MUST sign a form acknowledging that they received the high school’s counseling prior to CCP participation. A high school (or district) may schedule a designated CCP counseling meeting for parents and students and notify parents and students of the time and location of the scheduled meeting; however, the parents’ and students’ attendance at the designated meeting cannot be a mandatory requirement for CCP student
