¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ

Ohio ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs in grades 7–12 who meet GPA or testing requirements.

Students wanting to apply to become a CCP ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ at Miami should submit the Intent to Participate form and attend an Info Session, both handled through the high school, and then complete the online Miami CCP application. You will be able to select your campus at the time of application.

The district superintendent has the authority to allow ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs, on an individual basis, to participate in the program after April 1. Please contact the principal or superintendent of the district you will attend for the next academic year.

Yes. All CCP ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs must apply to Miami Undergraduate Admissions as a first-time ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ. Participating in Miami's CCP program does not guarantee admission into any degree program at ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ.

Type B CCP courses are state-funded at no cost to families. Type A CCP costs will vary, but are generally at the standard tuition rate.

Credits earned are ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ credits and will transfer to other institutions, subject to their transfer policies. Classes on the Level 1 List are usually OT36, TAG or CTAG and will transfer to other public colleges and universities in Ohio. If you intend to go to college outside the state of Ohio, or to a private college/university, please contact that institution for their transfer equivalencies.

The district superintendent has the authority to allow ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs, on an individual basis, to participate in the program after April 1. Please contact the principal or superintendent of the district you will attend for the next academic year.

If ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs would like to take more than the maximum number of credit hours, the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ can arrange to register and pay for those additional credit hours as a “self-pay” ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ at the standard Miami tuition rate. Those hours would be outside of the College Credit Plus program.

Your high school counselor will help you keep track of the hours you use through CCP funding every year.  If you go over 30 hours in a year, you and your high school counselor should decide which class from which institution will be billed to you.  If you go over 30 credit hours at Miami in any given year (remember, the CCP academic year for payment purposes begins with the summer term), you will be billed at the standard tuition rate. 

The Ohio Department of Higher Education requires that College Credit Plus ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs must complete their first 15 credit hours of college courses from an approved Level 1 List. Students should refer to the Level 1 List, and work with their high school counselor to determine if they must stay within the Level 1 List offerings. After a ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ completes 15 hours of college-level work, they can take any allowed class at Miami. There may still be prerequisites or restrictions. 

• Courses are faster paced. It’s important for ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs not only to review their classwork, but also to prepare for future lessons by completing assigned readings and staying on top of homework, even if no points are awarded. 
• More study time is required. Students should expect to spend 2-3 hours per week, per credit hour enrolled, outside of the classroom to prepare for class, read textbooks/materials, review notes and group work, write assignments, and study for tests or exams, etc. 
• Proactivity is required. Students, not parents or counselors, are responsible for communicating with their professors via office hours and/or by email if they have any questions or concerns regarding their progress in class.

Yes. CCP courses are available in the Fall and Spring Semesters as well as the Summer and Winter Terms. The summer and winter sessions are shorter in the number of weeks and are offered at a more accelerated pace. Students should carefully consider whether the additional demands of accelerated college courses are well suited to their aptitudes and needs. The first summer session begins in the middle of May and may conflict with high school ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs' coursework and exams being taken at the end of the year. Winter term occurs during three weeks in January, and dates vary from year to year.

Per state law, CCP ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs are not eligible to enroll in one-on-one private instruction courses (such as private music lessons), courses with fees that exceed the amount set by the Chancellor, study abroad or study away courses, physical education courses (SLM120 courses), remedial courses (any course beginning with a zero), or courses that are not taken for a grade (credit/no-credit courses).

CCP ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs may take up to 30 college credits in each academic year. To determine the number of credit hours a ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ can take in a year, the secondary school must calculate the number of course credits that are for high school credit only and multiply that by 3. That number is then subtracted from the 30 hours. The result is the maximum number of credit hours a ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ can take in the College Credit Plus program. (This calculation is based on a semester system.)

30 – (high school only credits x 3) = Maximum number of College Credit Plus credit hours

This calculation must be completed each year for a ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ, as the high school credits may change. Also, ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs may take a maximum of 120 credit hours in the CCP program.

If ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs would like to take more than the maximum number of credit hours, the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ can arrange to register and pay for those additional credit hours as a “self-pay” ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ at the standard Miami tuition rate. Those hours would be outside of the College Credit Plus program.

Because they are college-level courses, some Miami courses (such as THE 191 and ART 121) will include adult content. CCP ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs and parents may wish to review the course descriptions in the Bulletin and, if they are concerned, reach out to their academic advisor to select a different course. Per state law, instructors will not change their course material content for CCP ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs. Both the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ and the parent/guardian will sign a Campus Mature Subject Matter Permission form, required by the state of Ohio, as part of the Admission process.

Students who withdraw from a course after the “drop without a grade” deadline (called the “no fault deadline” by the state)  may be responsible for reimbursing the school district for the tuition amount paid to the college for the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ’s enrollment in that course. The “drop without a grade deadline” is after the first 20% of the class is each part of term. Students who withdraw after the “drop without a grade” date but before the “drop with a W” date will have a W on their transcript and may be required to reimburse their school district for the cost of the class. Students who need to take a medical withdrawal should contact their school district for information about financial implications.

Math classes at Miami have a test score or prerequisite needed to take the class. Please reach out to your academic advisor. You must take a placement test to take a math class. We offer math placement exams, or you can provide your ACT/SAT scores for math placement.

Some classes at Miami will have a prerequisite, either a class that must be taken beforehand or a threshold test score.  The Miami Course List will publish any prerequisites for a class. If the prerequisite is a class, such as PSY111 as a pre-req for PSY231, you can show your academic advisor an unofficial transcript from another college showing the completion of the class.  If the prerequisite is a test score, you can provide ACT scores to your academic advisor, or, we offer Accuplacer and Math Placement Test (MPT) exams for ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs. Contact your academic advisor for assistance.

Miami offers a “J Term” in January, and begins its Spring Semester three weeks after most other Ohio colleges.  This affects enrollment reporting at the beginning of the term, and grade reporting at the end. Please check with your high school counselor if you have questions. If your high school counselor needs up-to-date grades for determining Valedictorian status, have them reach out to CCP@MiamOH.edu.

Please check with your high school counselor to confirm all CCP courses meet the high school requirements.

You’ll be sent an email to your Miami account to fill out an “RSVP Form” for the next semester.  If you have tried to register and gotten a Time Ticket error, search your Miami email for the form. Please email CCP@MiamiOH.edu with questions.

Students participating in the College Credit Plus program, together with their parents, must be aware of, and understand, the social and academic consequences of participation. The home school district or university may (but are not required to) provide any necessary intervention with the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ. CCP ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs who need additional academic support are encouraged to consult their academic advisor and to use academic support centers, such as the Rinella Learning Center or the Howe Center for Writing Excellence on the Oxford campus and the Tutoring & Learning Center (TLC) on the Hamilton or Middletown campuses.

Yes. Per state law, Miami is required to send final grades for each ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ taught by a University faculty member to their high school at the end of each semester. Miami will not communicate grades to parents, but grades will be on both the high school transcript and available for the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ to view in .

Students who withdraw from a course after the “drop without a grade” deadline (called the “no fault deadline” by the state)  may be responsible for reimbursing the school district for the tuition amount paid to the college for the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ’s enrollment in that course.

Students who need to take a medical withdrawal should contact their school district for information about financial implications.

If a ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ fails a course, an "F" will be recorded on both the high school and college transcripts and the "F" will be computed into the high school and college GPA. If the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ does not receive a passing grade, the district may, in some instances, seek reimbursement for the amount of state funds paid to the college on the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ's behalf for that college course. The school district may withhold grades and credits received for high school courses taken until reimbursement has been made. Students in a non-public school who receive a failing grade in a class may be billed for the published cost by the State of Ohio.

Yes. There is both “Miami” Academic Probation and Dismissal and “CCP” probation and dismissal. They are different processes and have different consequences. 

A CCP ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ can be placed on Academic probation and dismissal at Miami if they earn a cumulative GPA below a 2.0. 

A ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ can also be placed on CCP academic probation when the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ:

• Earns lower than a cumulative 2.00 GPA in college courses, OR
• Withdraws from two or more courses in the same semester or term

When a ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ is on CCP probation, the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ may enroll in no more than one college course per term and may not enroll in a college course in the same subject in which the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ previously earned a D or F or received no credit.

A ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ is placed on CCP dismissal when the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ has met the definition of CCP Probation for two consecutive college terms. Once a ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ is dismissed from the CCP program, the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ may not enroll in college courses for the following college semester or term. After one college semester/term on CCP dismissal, the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ may request their secondary school to allow the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ to participate in CCP. The secondary school will determine whether the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ may continue on dismissal, move to probation, or participate without restrictions per the school’s adopted policy.

A ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ must be enrolled in public high school in Ohio to participate in Miami’s CCP program. If a ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ is expelled from high school, he or she will not be eligible to participate in CCP at Miami.

The Ohio Department of Education website has specific instructions for and . Both home and private schooled ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs will need to apply for CCP funding through the Ohio Department of Education. Be aware of strict deadlines to apply for funding, and know that you must upload your State Funding Letter to Miami before the term starts to have your courses paid for by CCP.

The high school the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ attends owns the textbooks.

About a week after you sign up for classes, a CCP Voucher will appear in your payment options when you buy textbooks. You must sign into myMiami and search for “Textbooks” to access the CCP Voucher.  If after a week  you do not see the voucher, please email ccp@MiamiOH.edu. If you are the first ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ at your high school to do CCP courses at Miami, then we may need to help you make the connection between Miami’s textbooks distributor and your high school. Textbook questions can be sent directly to miamioh@ecampus.com.
