CCP Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
If ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈs would like to take more than the maximum number of credit hours, the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ can arrange to register and pay for those additional credit hours as a “self-pay” ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ 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 ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈs 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 ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ 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 ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈs 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.
CCP ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈs may take up to 30 college credits in each academic year. To determine the number of credit hours a ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ 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 ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ 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 ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ, as the high school credits may change. Also, ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈs may take a maximum of 120 credit hours in the CCP program.

Yes. There is both “Miami” Academic Probation and Dismissal and “CCP” probation and dismissal. They are different processes and have different consequences.
A CCP ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ can be placed on Academic probation and dismissal at Miami if they earn a cumulative GPA below a 2.0.
A ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ can also be placed on CCP academic probation when the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ:
- 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 ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ is on CCP probation, the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ 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 ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ previously earned a D or F or received no credit.
A ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ is placed on CCP dismissal when the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ has met the definition of CCP Probation for two consecutive college terms. Once a ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ is dismissed from the CCP program, the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ may not enroll in college courses for the following college semester or term. After one college semester/term on CCP dismissal, the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ may request their secondary school to allow the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ to participate in CCP. The secondary school will determine whether the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ may continue on dismissal, move to probation, or participate without restrictions per the school’s adopted policy.
