College Credit Plus CCP

Non-public school (private school or homeschool) parent frequently asked questions

The ACCUPLACER test measures your skill level in three basic areas – Math, English and Reading.  All Stark State College students take the ACCUPLACER test. Scores help to determine whether or not a student needs to be put into a developmental course.

Students who have been accepted will receive their letter via email as well as a hard copy via mail.

  • Non-public school families need to apply for funding with the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE). They will need an acceptance letter from Stark State to complete the process.
    • All parents/guardians are required to establish an OH|ID account before they can apply for funding.
  • The application process takes place each year for the following academic year. It opens February 1 on ODHE’s website and closes on April 1 at 5 p.m. Late applicants ARE NOT accepted.
  • When requesting credits, families should do so for the entire academic year (i.e., summer, fall and spring semesters). Since the funding application process only happens once a year, families are requesting credits for the entire academic year at once. Most classes at Stark State are 3 credit hours each.
    • Example: Requesting a total of at least 12 credit hours when a student plans on taking two classes in the fall and two in the spring.
  • Students will be notified about their credit awards around the first week of May.
  • Students then need to reach out to Stark State with their funding letter to schedule an appointment to meet with an advisor and register for classes.
  • Students who missed the funding deadline or did not receive as many credits as needed may still participate in CCP; however, they would be considered self-pay.
