Hi. We have had a lot of questions regarding
College Credit Plus (CCP) for next year and what you need to do if you want to participate. If you're going to participate in CCP, please read this email. This email will highlight the steps for you.
1. You must watch the information/counseling presentation (either have attended in person on February 9 at CMHS, have gone to the session at Laurel, or watched the video link online).
2. You (and a parent) must complete the Letter of Intent to participate in CCP for the 2023-2024 school year. This must be completed by ALL students who want to participate in CCP, even if you have previously participated. If you completed the forms at the Laurel Oaks session, that is fine.
3. You must go on to the websites for the college(s) of your choosing and apply to be a CCP student. If you are currently a CCP student (or were accepted within the last two years), you do not need to reapply. Here is a link to Sinclair's site (you'll use this if you're taking classes at CMHS).
4. Once you have applied, the college will reach out to the Guidance Office to ask for your transcript and other needed information. We will get that information sent to the college.
5. You may need to take placement testing. If you're graduating in 2024 or 2025 and you have a 3.0 unweighted GPA AND have two completed English credits and/or three completed math credits, you likely will not need to test for placement in fall classes; however, if you want to take summer classes, you may still need to test if you are Class of 2025. If you're in the Class of 2026 and beyond, you will need to take placement testing, regardless of your GPA. The college you want to attend will have their information listed on their site as to what placement testing you need. If you're attending Sinclair, their placement testing information can be found on this site; you'll need to call and schedule an appointment to test.
6. Once you have applied and completed placement testing, the college will let you know whether you were accepted. If you were accepted, they will send you information regarding registering for classes. Summer course registration for Sinclair opens on March 20. Fall course registration for Sinclair opens on April 10.
If you have any questions, please contact Miss Beres or Ms. Sercu.
