Edison State focuses on teamwork for College Credit Plus success
Since the introduction of College Credit Plus (CCP) in 2015, Edison
State Community College has experienced a 54-percent increase in fall
semester CCP headcount and a 57-percent increase in fall semester CCP
credit hours.
Dr. Doreen Larson, President of Edison State, explains, “the vision of
Ohio’s College Credit Plus program is to increase the number of high
school students attending college and help more students to obtain
college degrees.”
This growth can be attributed to partnerships formed with over 40
public and private high schools, as well as homeschooled families.
Edison State’s CCP model embeds Enrollment Managers in high schools.
This approach coordinates enrollment and advising support so that
students and staff have convenient access to pertinent information,
which enables Edison State to deliver high quality, student-centered
programs while also providing customized partnerships with each high
school.
“Our model ensures that students, parents, high school counselors, and
college advisors are on the same page, have ongoing communications, and
have a clear plan to achieve their goals. We go beyond the basic
requirements of CCP programming to truly create a team that puts the
students first,” said Larson.
Edison State currently partners with high schools located in the
following counties: Auglaize, Champaign, Darke, Mercer, Miami,
Montgomery, Logan, Preble, and Shelby.
CCP has built on the success of previous programs such as PSEOP and
dual enrollment. Through the program, students have the opportunity to
earn up to sixty college credits in two years before graduating from
high school. Course credits earned are transferable to four-year
universities under strong articulation agreements.
CCP students who opt to continue their college education at Edison
State after high school may qualify for one of two scholarships worth
up to 100-percent tuition.
