College Credit Plus provides students in grades 7-12 the
opportunity to earn college and high school credits at the same
time by taking courses through Central Ohio Technical College.

readiness and postsecondary success, while providing a wide
variety of options to college-ready students, at no cost to
students and families.

three different ways:
- COTC college courses are taught by high school teachers at
the high school. (Partnering high school)
- COTC college courses are taught by COTC faculty at the high
school. (Partnering high school)

COTC’s four campuses and/or online.
COVID-19 Updates
Central Ohio Technical College (COTC) is following Governor Mike
DeWine’s recommendations to take immediate action to minimize the
risk of exposure and slow the spread of the coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19) in our communities.
Due to COVID-19, COTC is not sending faculty into partnering high
schools and has modified course offerings for students. Please
review our
academic engagement plan for more information.
Policy changes have been made by the State of Ohio due to
COVID-19. New students for the 20-21/21-22 school year are
eligible to participate in CCP if they have a high school
(unweighted) GPA of 3.0 or higher.
COTC is providing placement testing for students on a
limited basis for eligibility and admission consideration to
CCP. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we prefer to test
students remotely; however, some on-campus testing is available
if needed. Connect with an Admissions
Representative to determine whether you need placement testing:
ccp@mail.cotc.edu.
