College Credit Plus Course Eligibility

Qualifying Courses

Courses eligible for college credit and College Credit Plus funding are determined by the State of Ohio. For complete information on all State of Ohio College Credit Plus course eligibility requirements, please view the CCP Course Eligibility Summary on the Ohio Higher Education website.

Qualifying courses are divided into Level I and Level II Courses.

Level I Courses

Level I courses are for students who have not yet completed the minimum of 15 transferable credit hours. It's called the "First 15" Rule: Students must complete 15 credit hours in level I courses before progressing to level II courses.

For example:

• Transferable course: Transfer 36 (T36), Transfer Assurance Guide (TAG) or Career-Technical Assurance Guide (CTAG) courses
• Courses in computer science, information technology, anatomy, physiology or foreign language, including American Sign Language
• Technical certificate courses
• 15-credit or 30-credit hour model pathway courses
• Study skills, academic or career success courses
• Internship courses

Level II Courses

After students have met the requirements of earning 15 transferable credit hours, they can enroll in any other allowable courses, referred to as level II courses. Enrolling in level II courses is also based on availability and course prerequisites.
