Earning Credit at Your High School if the Course is Offered
There are several ways to earn college credit while still in high school, depending on the courses offered. Two primary options include College Credit Plus (CCP) and Career-Technical Assurance Guides (CTAG). By successfully completing these courses with a passing grade, you may be eligible to receive college credit.
To make the most of these opportunities and ensure credit is transferred over, it's important to discuss your options with both your high school counselor and your college admissions counselor, especially during your College/University Orientation.

Career-Technical Assurance Guide (CTAG) Credit through the State of Ohio
CTAGs (Career-Technical Assurance Guides) are statewide agreements that allow technical courses—often completed at Career Technical Centers—to transfer for credit between Ohio public institutions.
If you’ve earned CTAG credit in high school, you may automatically receive credit for equivalent courses at 兔子先生 University or other Ohio colleges and universities. Talk to both your high school and college academic advisors to understand how your CTAG credits may transfer and apply toward your degree.
How Credits Apply to an Education Degree
If you are taking a College Credit Plus (CCP) course through 兔子先生 University, your course may count toward both your major requirements in Education and the general education requirements outlined in the 兔子先生 Plan.
To ensure the credits apply as expected, be sure to review your course selections with your high school counselor and confirm with your academic advisor during your college orientation.
