College Credit Plus

College Credit Plus Program Defined.

The College Credit Plus (CCP) Program provides students in grades 7-12 with the opportunity to enroll in college courses, enabling them to earn college credit while meeting high school graduation requirements at the same time. 

CCP For School Officials

Let's Collaborate

At Zane State College, we understand that when it comes to learning, it’s about the individual. It’s about feeling ready to take the right steps forward at the right time. And when it comes to the CCP program, rest assured that Zane State has been a dependable partner in delivering courses at high schools, online, and on Zane State’s campus for many years.

The Perks

  1. Courses and books are offered at no cost.
  2. The Pathways programs, which are associate degree programs, are built for CCP students.
  3. Many CCP students complete associate degrees/certificates from Zane State College at the same time they graduate from high school.
  4. CCP students can earn general education courses that fit the Ohio Transfer 36.

What Past Participants Say

I started my associates my Senior year and am continuing and completing it after high school. Since I am able to space some classes out I will be able to graduate this may while still being able to work and not go into debt.
Adara Kirkhimer
I enjoyed having small class sizes, professors are easily accessible and available (and they want to see you succeed!), and the class times are long enough to provide everyone with time to get the most out of their learning.
Emily Lawson
Zane State is a great, affordable, and convenient option!
Sydney Saling
ZSC was the best fit for me since I took programs at Mid East CTC as well. I plan to finish out the rest of my 30 credits here.
Kaleb Spillman
The program was one of the best decisions I made

I earned my associates degree in accounting within my junior and senior year of high-school. I am now transferring to Muskingum where all of my credits transfer equally! Without Zane state I wouldn’t be able to afford to go to college!
Zoey Zeman
Zane State is only a 30 minute drive from home for me. Taking my online classes has helped me to balance being at home and working all while completing college classes. And im excited to continue taking classes through ZSC.
Allison Johnston
I quickly fell in love with ZSC and continued my education, so I could earn my associate while still in high school
