Questions to Ask Your School Counselor and Your Parents
Students interested in College Credit Plus (CCP) are encouraged to meet with their guidance counselor and family network to discuss the preparation and demands of college coursework. College-level courses are taught at an accelerated pace. There is a need for students to have self-responsibility, independence for learning, and the ability to think critically. Students and families need to consider travel to and from campus in addition to any extracurricular activities and other high school obligations.
It is important that you have a good understanding of your school district’s policies, as well as the policies of the college you choose to attend.
