College Credit Plus

  • Earn both college & high school credit while in 7th-12th grade
  • Save on college tuition and time to earn a degree

Either option is an excellent choice but it really depends on you! Talk with your school guidance counselor and our academic and career advisors to help you make the best choice.

What types of classes can I take?

Students can register for any Terra State course that will apply to a degree or certificate program. Students can enroll in courses taught on campus, at their high school, or online. Students can take classes Fall, Spring or Summer semester.

We partner with several schools to offer classes right at your high school. They include but are not limited to:

  • Clyde High School
  • Gibsonburg High School
  • Oak Harbor High School
  • Old Fort High School
  • Toledo Technology Academy
  • Vanguard-Sentinel Career & Technical Centers

Will my credits really transfer if I want to pursue a bachelor's degree?

Anytime you take a course which is part of the Transfer Assurance Guide (TAG) or Ohio Transfer 36, that course is guaranteed to transfer to another Ohio public institution.

If you are considering a private institution, we have many articulation agreements that layout the path for what credits from Terra State transfer to the other institution.

While students are still expected to behave as college students, there is a strong support system to help transition you into adulthood.
