Ohio debuted College Credit Plus in 2015 to improve educational attainment and career readiness for young residents while strengthening the bridge between high school and higher education.

The goal is to reduce the time and expense of earning a college degree. State education dollars pay for the program, meaning there is little or no cost for participating students and their families.

College Credit Plus students at Tri-C studied their way to nearly 36,000 college credits during the 2016-2017 academic year — tops in Ohio, according to the most recent state report on the program. Those credits carried a tuition value of more than $3.7 million.

The program is open to teens in grades seven through 12 who are academically ready for more rigorous coursework. 

Tri-C’s Spring Commencement will begin at 6 p.m. Thursday, May 17, at Cleveland State University’s Wolstein Center, located at 2000 Prospect Ave. in Cleveland. The Class of 2018 is one of the largest in the College’s history.
