Students and Parents

We ask families to consider the student's level of social and emotional maturity before taking College Credit Plus (CCP) courses. CCP courses may include mature subject matter. The CCP permission slip is embedded within the student's application to the College and must be signed electronically by both the student and a parent.

     • For college-level placement, students entering the 11th and 12th grades during their first term of CCP enrollment with a cumulative 3.0 GPA DO NOT NEED TO TAKE AN ENGLISH PLACEMENT TEST. 
     • Students in the seventh through 10th grades or those with less than a 3.0 GPA must take an English placement test. Read more about the Tri-C English and math placement tests.
   • English scores are required for most courses, and math scores may be required for some.
   • Student should also review the My Online Readiness Experience (M.O.R.E.) module on Blackboard prior to enrollment. 
3. You will receive your acceptance letter via email, which will include the registration instructions.
   • At that time, you must also complete the virtual CCP student questionnaire. 
   • You will not be accepted into the CCP program until your transcripts and eligible test scores are submitted.

Returning CCP Enrollment Steps

1. Complete the Tri-C Authorization to Attend Form with your school counselor/school approver.
2. Once complete, you will receive an email instructing you to make an appointment with your assigned Tri-C academic counselor to ensure the courses you’ve chosen will fulfill your degree or certificate requirements. Counseling appointments are virtual. 
3. Register for Tri-C courses online.

Private and Home-Schooled Student Information

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 academic year 2023-2024, the funding application is due April 1 to the Ohio Department of Education. Tri-C will take applications beyond this deadline. 

Early Admissions

Tri-C offers an Early Admissions program for high school students who have missed the Intent to Participate deadlines, are not eligible for CCP or would like to take a class for personal enrichment. Early admit students have a self-pay option only. Also, early admit credits are not reflected on the high school transcript.
