Students and Parents

Prior to taking CCP courses, we ask families to consider a student's level of social and emotional maturity that is needed to take college-level coursework. There is the potential for mature subject matter in College Credit Plus courses. The College Credit Plus permission slip is embedded within the student's application to the College and must be signed electronically by both student and parent.
