Application Requirements

Please note that there are different requirements, depending on if you want to take courses at a UC campus/online or in a high school classroom. Also pay attention to the application deadlines, as these are based on if you are a student in a public school or a non-public school/homeschool.

*If you are a non-public or homeschool student, you can apply for CCP funding through the state of Ohio by November 1/April 1. Because you need an admission letter from UC for that application, you must apply earlier. If you are not applying for CCP funding, you can follow the deadlines for public school students.

You must meet ONE of the following criteria to be considered to take courses on campus or online with a UC Faculty member:

• 2.75 minimum, unweighted high school GPA and A or B FINAL grade in high school English and A or B FINAL grade in high school Math. (The A or B in both high school English and Math must be included on the Official High School transcript.)  
• 18 ENGL, 22 MATH minimum ACT scores (must be official)
• 480 EBRW, 530 MATH minimum SAT scores (must be official)

If you consider taking an in-high school course through CCP, please be aware of the following:

• You can only take in-high school courses if your high school has a CCP partnership with UC.
• Acceptance into the CCP program does not guarantee course registration.

In addition, you must meet ONE of the following criteria to be considered to take CCP Courses in your high school:

• 2.75 minimum, unweighted high school GPA and A or B FINAL grade in relevant high school course The A or B in a high school course in a relevant subject area must be included on the Official High School transcript.

• Your official high school transcripts. These must be sent by your counselor through Parchment or Slate. If you're a homeschool student, you may email your transcripts to ccp@uc.edu

If you are a middle school student (in seventh and eighth grade) with high school work in Algebra I and high school English, you may be considered for admission. 

UC adheres to Ohio’s CCP eligibility guidelines while also taking a holistic approach to reviewing student transcripts for admissions. As UC's College Credit Plus Office, we maintain authority of the review process, including admissions decisions. If you are not offered admission, we highly encourage you to submit future transcripts for consideration.
