Ashland University is proud to partner with area school districts to offer College Credit Plus (CCP), a valuable opportunity for high school students to earn college credit while completing their high school requirements. By participating in CCP, students can experience college coursework, build academic skills and study habits and explore potential career paths early. Whether they plan to attend Ashland University or transfer credits elsewhere, CCP provides a strong foundation for academic success. For more information district administrators and guidance counselors should contact Carla Coon.
Benefits of Dual Enrollment
