College Credit Plus for Home-School Families

We welcome home-schooled students to participate in the College Credit Plus (CCP) program at Tri-C. The College offers financial and educational benefits to students and their families, including discounted tuition and books as well as flexible course modalities that lead to careers or can be transferred to other institutions.

Getting Started

Students attending a private high school and home-schooled students must apply to the Ohio Department of Education to receive funding to underwrite their costs and send a copy of the funding letter to the College. Once complete, the College provides discounted tuition and book fees to home-schooled students. View the Home-School Student Information sheet below. For the 2023-2024 academic year, the funding application is due on April 1 to the Ohio Department of Education. Tri-C will take college applications beyond this deadline.
