College Credit Plus for Students in 7th - 12th Grade:  

Sandusky City Schools is proud to announce the introduction of College Credit Plus to its middle and high school students for the academic year of 2014-2015. College Credit Plus (CCP) will become a popular choice for students and parents alike for various reasons. The program allows students to meet high school requirements and earn college credits while in high school, free of charge. The cost for college courses and books also is covered by the school district. Students who earn college credit through CCP will have the ability to transfer them to the college or university of their choice after their high school graduation, thus the potential to save thousands.

Sandusky City Schools has formal agreements with various colleges and universities to provide some specific courses at Sandusky High School. Students, however, also can opt to take College Credit Plus courses from any college that offers a course that would benefit their future. This arrangement also could include online courses. Students can enroll in such courses as long as minimum assessment requirements of individual colleges and universities are met.

Requirements of Student Participation in College Credit Plus:
  • Students must complete the COMPASS assessment or submit ACT or SAT scores in order to be considered for the program. The minimum COMPASS reading score of 80 is required for students to be eligible to enroll in courses at Bowling Green State University at Firelands. At Lorain Community College (LCCC), the minimum required reading score is 71. At Terra State Community College, the minimum required reading score is 70.
  • Official high school transcripts, COMPASS scores, and applications for admission to the college or university of the students' choice must be submitted prior to enrollment in any of the college courses at our partner colleges or universities
  • After admittance, students are required to complete an orientation at the college or university of their choice.

How and When Do Students Receive COMPASS Testing to Qualify for CCP?

Students are offered COMPASS testing at SHS once per academic year. COMPASS testing will be completed before October 1, 2015, for all freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. Plans are underway to ensure that COMPASS testing is completed for all 7th-8th graders by Nov. 1, 2015.
