Dear Parents/Guardians,

The College Credit Plus Program was created to enhance students’ college and career readiness and postsecondary success. The program is open to students in grades 7-12 who earn a remediation free overall score on a college readiness exam, such as the ACT, SAT or COMPASS. To participate, students must be enrolled in both college and high school. The student will earn transcripted college and high school credit upon successful completion of the course. These credits are acknowledged at public Ohio colleges and universities.

Mayfield High School will be presenting the specific framework and functions of the College Credit Plus Program, on March 2, 2016 from 7:00-8:00 PM in the MHS Cafeteria. Topics for discussion:

• Why CCP? Three or more semester credits = 1 Carnegie unit of high school credit . Grades will be weighted on a honors/AP scale dependent upon equivalency of course offerings. It will be reflected within the high school transcript and calculated into the grade point average.

• CCP on and off campus? 10 Mayfield offerings
• Lakeland Partnership
• Sign up?
• School Schedule – Choose the course
• College Readiness exam and cut scores
• ACT minimum score of 18 in English AND 21 in Math
• SAT 450 in Critical Reading or 430 in Writing AND 500 in Math
• COMPASS ENGL 1110 and MATH 950 (no cost test offered at MHS Thursday, March 10, 2016 from 8:45-3:00 in room 260, and March 14th and 15th in the Library/Media Center from 3:00-5:00. Additionally, on Lakeland Campus.)
• Letter of Intent due March 30th
• Student responsibilities
• Administrators, Guidance Counselors and local college representatives available for questions

If you cannot attend, please refer to our high school webpage and review the power point, video and forms. Feel free to contact the guidance counselors or myself if you have any questions.

Providing students with dual credit opportunities is a strategy that is meant to maximize the chances of success in college and beyond. We look forward to assisting you and your child.

Best regards,

Laila Discenza
