Schedule and Transportation

• Can I take classes earlier or later than normal school hours?

• Will I have enough time for college-level coursework along with high school, work, sports and other activities?

CCP students take college-level courses and are expected to meet the same academic standards as other Kent State students. Before moving forward, think about whether you're ready to work independently, manage your time, keep track of deadlines and ask for help when you need it.

Consider how college courses will fit with your high school classes, activities, work and other responsibilities.
