What are the potentail risks of CCP?

College Credit Plus (CCP) allows high school students to earn college credit now.  While CCP is a great opportunity for students to explore their future, there are some important things to consider.  Before registering, students should talk about these issues with a parent or guardian.

Mature content

CCP college courses may include adult topics.  These topics will not be changed for younger students.

The subject matter of a course enrolled in under the College Credit Plus program may include mature subject matter or materials, including those of a graphic, explicit, violent or sexual nature, that will not be modified based upon the College Credit Plus enrollee participation regardless of where course instruction occurs.

Potential costs

Failing or withdrawing from a course

If a student fails a course or chooses to withdraw, they may be required to pay for the course.

Returning textbooks and materials late or damaged

Students must return textbooks on time and in good condition.  If books are late or damaged, students may be responsible for repayment.

Permanent grades

Grades earned in CCP courses are permanent.  CCP students must understand that these grades will be on both their high school and college records, unless a student enrolls in Option A.  Poor grades can affect students’ high school GPA, college admissions, and future scholarships.
