What is it?

College Credit Plus allows students in grades 7 - 12 to take courses and earn both high school and college credit.  The grades and credits earned appear on both the student's high school and college transcripts.  Students can earn up to 30 college credits per year.  (Maximum of 120 credit hours.)

Where can students take courses?

Eligible students can take courses at the high school taught by a high school teacher, at the high school taught by a college instructor, or at the college (online or live).  Students may choose to take courses in any combination of formats.

What does it cost?

There is no cost for the student to participate in College Credit Plus when the student is enrolled in a public college or university.  The high school and college share the cost for the course(s).  Students choosing to enroll in a participating private college or university might incur costs.

More Information

All students interested in participating in College Credit Plus (CC+) must attend an information counseling session addressing the opportunities available through CC+ including the possible consequences and benefits of participation.

Any students interested in participating in CC+ who did not attend the information night hosted at WKHS still have an option to fulfill the participation requirement:

• The presenters at the College Credit Plus Information night hosted at WKHS on Thursday, January 10th authorized Worthington to record the presentation.  Students and parents can watch the video in it's entirety and sign off to verify that they have watched the complete session and understand all of the components designated on the intent to participate form.

I want to participate in College Credit Plus - what do I do next?

1. All students interested in participating in CC+ must complete and return the intent to participate form which also verifies that the student and parent have participated in the CC+ information counseling session and understand the rules related to participating in the program.  This form is due no later than April 1st in order for students to have the opportunity to participate in CC+ during the following school year.
2. After indicating intent to participate to the school district, students must apply for acceptance at the college/ university of their choice.
3. Upon acceptance to the college, students will take the admissions/ placement tests needed by their individual colleges.  
4. Students will work with their school counselor to adjust their course requests for next school year based upon their intended courses.  Please note that changes must be made within the confines of the master schedule.

What are the course placement requirements to be able to enroll in a CC+ class?

Students are eligible to take most non-remedial classes as long as they have met the standards each college has established for enrollment into a course.

Worthington schools provides the opportunity for students to take classes during the summer in order to catch up on courses that a student has failed or to advance his/ her learning by taking classes for the first time.  All courses offered are featured on the Worthington Schools website and for your convenience, registration will be completed online.  There is a fee associated with taking advance credit classes, but courses that students are repeating for credit recovery purposes will be offered free of charge.  Students who intend to take a course through summer school should sign up as early as possible so that you do not get closed out of a desired course.

During the 2019 summer, summer school will run from June 3 - June 28 at Worthington Academy.  Students will have the option of selecting a session from 8-10 or a 10-12 time frame.  Additionally, transportation will be available if needed.  Students are asked to register before May 17th to make sure you don't get closed out of a spot.

We know that some families are unable to participate in Worthington's summer school program due to schedule conflicts.  Students have the option of taking classes from any accredited school and transferring those credits back to Worthington after completion of the course.  It is important to understand that the grades from these transfer classes will be reflected on the student's transcript, however, they will not be calculated into the Worthington Schools grade point average.  Students are responsible for making sure that they provide a copy of their transcript back to WKHS so that the course can accurately be documented.  Unfortunately the counselors are unable to keep a complete list of all of the accredited schools who are offering summer school, but many local area school districts and online schools will offer summer school.  If students and parents are interested in non-Worthington summer school options, you are encouraged to search online for summer school courses to find accredited schools that will meet your needs.  Probably the school we receive the most transcripts from each year is TRECA.  We also recently received information about QDA which offers Math 1 and Math 2 and has comparable costs to TRECA, but all coursework must be complete within 6 weeks.
