As a student in grades 7-12 you have an opportunity to jump-start your higher education experience through the College Credit Plus Program. Heidelberg participates in CCP by allowing qualified students to come to our campus to take seated classes along with our regular college students. We believe this is the best format for Heidelberg to provide high quality academics and give you the benefit of the entire college experience.
- Earn both high school and college credit for courses completed.
- Pursue challenging academic coursework beyond the high school classroom.
- Interact with Heidelberg’s full and supportive community - including fellow students, faculty, and staff.
- Reduce the overall cost in earning college credit as tuition will be covered by the home high school district under the provisions of Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3365. Textbooks are also provided.
All CCP students attend an orientation session prior to their first semester at Heidelberg. You'll learn about our online information system, available resources, policies and program guidelines. Sessions are held in May. You'll also work with an advisor each semester when registering for classes to help you choose courses appropriate to your interests and desired profession.
Students will work with both the college advisor and high school guidance counselor to assure they are taking appropriate courses and meeting necessary requirements for high school graduation.
Courses must be selected from the Schedule of Classes posted on the Heidelberg website. Courses must also meet the course eligibility rules as set by the State of Ohio.
- Heidelberg University’s Level One Courses
Course prerequisites must be met as indicated in the course descriptions. Typically, course selections will be at the 100- and 200-level; however, based on placement or met prerequisites, students may be able to enroll in courses at the 300- and 400-level.
Most courses meet between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on either Monday, Wednesday or Friday for 50 minutes or Tuesday and Thursday for 75 minutes each.
Course availability cannot be guaranteed. Because Heidelberg students are given priority in registering for classes, some classes may reach maximum capacity before registrations for CCP students are processed. In such cases, CCP students will be advised to consider other course offerings.
