College Credit Plus Overview
From the Ohio Department of Education
Ohio's state-funded program, College Credit Plus, allows Ohio high school students to get a head start on college by enrolling in college courses while they are in high school.
For non-Ohio residents, we also offer a similar option, the Dual Enrollment program.
Did you know that:
College courses you take at Malone before you graduate from high school can be credited toward your Malone bachelor’s degree, helping you finish college more quickly? Courses may also be transferred.
Malone’s participation in College Credit Plus means that, if you are enrolled at a public high school, there is no cost to the student or parent.
Application Requirements
To be eligible for College Credit Plus or Dual Enrollment, you must complete the application packet by May 1:
- Application for Admission
