Program Description

In order to give Ohio high school students the opportunity to pursue higher education and reduce the cost of doing so, the Ohio Department of Education, Ohio Board of Regents and the Ohio legislature have worked together and created the College Credit Plus program. This program will combine the previous Post Secondary Enrollment Option and Dual Enrollment programs and will include Tech Prep.

BGSU Firelands College Credit Plus program gives college-bound high school students the opportunity to earn college credit and high school credit simultaneously. 这给学生们提供了尽早过渡到大学的优势, while reducing the cost and length of time to receive a degree. They will have already received on-transcript college credit. 

Recommended courses include 1000-2000 level BG Perspective (General Education) courses in Natural and Social Sciences, and Humanities along with General Studies Writing and Math.  These courses are listed in the BGSU catalog and are available to CCP students at scheduled class times on campus and some are also available online or through web-based delivery.  一些高中也会在校园里开设这些课程.  The BGSU catalog can be found at ks0wquu.nbshgold.com/catalog.html

Are you ready for college?

At BGSU Firelands, there are many supports available to help you succeed in college, from free tutoring, an advising staff to help you choose a schedule, 可访问性服务,用于帮助应对学习挑战, technology support, 以及重视教学和学习作为中心任务的教师. 然而,从高中到大学的转变是真实的. 如果你现在是一名正在考虑大学学分加计划的高中生 THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT YOU DO AND DON’T DO SHIFTS TO YOU. TIME MANAGEMENT AND INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILTY

Time management and individual responsibility

High School College
Your choice of classes and scheduling options are limited. 虽然你会安排你的时间表咨询顾问, the choice over how many classes to take and how to arrange your schedule is up to you and will require that you make active choices.
你整天从一节课换到另一节课,中间没有多少空闲时间. If you are in college full-time, you will generally spend only around 12 to 16 hours a week in class and there can often be a number of hours in between classes.
Most of your study activity happens IN class. 在大学里,每上课一小时,你需要在课外学习2-3小时. Don’t overschedule yourself.
You need permission to participate in extracurricular activities. You will need to make active choices about whether to participate in extracurricular activities and to what degree.
你的学校时间表是固定的,限制了你工作的时间. 你需要做出积极的选择,什么是合理的工作与学校的比例.
Your performance is constantly monitored by teachers and they reach out to you to give you reminders to study or come in for help. You will need to actively monitor how you are doing in class and to assess whether or not you need extra assistance with course content. 有很多支持可以帮助你成功,但你应该主动提供帮助.
Teachers help you before, during or after the class period. 教授有办公时间在课外帮助你(或者你可以要求另一个会议时间). 如果您需要进一步的辅导,请利用办公时间和教学中心.
The high school has policies set in place for the classes. 你需要熟悉每门课程的相关政策. Every class has a SYLLABUS that outlines everything you need to know about how the class runs—from what is covered along with assigned readings to makeup policies to when office hours take place to what will make up your grade.
High School College
Attendance is mandatory and regularly monitored. 了解每门课程的出勤和参与政策. 你要为你的选择对你最终成绩的影响负责.
你的学校为你的班级提供了所有必需的材料和技术. 你需要安排使用课程所需的材料, including technology. Technology Support can help you with user-related issues.
当地高中的学年长度和假期往往是相似的. College semesters do not correspond to the high school calendar. 学期开始和结束的时间与高中宿舍不同. 春假通常不会和你高中的春假相对应. You will need to attend class based on the college schedule and your professors are not required to accommodate those different timelines.
天气延误/取消在当地高中往往有些相似. 天气相关的取消与当地K-12学校的决定无关, and they tend to be much less frequent. Have a plan for transportation to the college in inclement weather if you are uncomfortable driving in the snow or other bad weather.

Learning Strategy

High School College
许多学生发现他们每周只需要在课外学习几个小时(总共). 在大学里,你需要在课外学习2-3个小时 every in-class hour.
大量的课堂时间花在重新教学、复习和练习上. 你应该阅读并确保你理解指定的材料. 讲座和其他课堂活动都是基于你已经这样做了的期望和假设. College classes move at a faster pace.
在课堂上,你通常会被告知你需要从指定的阅读材料/作业中学到什么. 你指定的阅读材料可能会在课堂上直接提到,也可能不会, 但你应该完成它们,并掌握内容. That material may show up on exams.

Grades

High School College
Courses are often structured to heavily reward effort. 虽然努力自然很重要,但在大学里,努力并不能代替结果.
Extra credit opportunities available to raise your grade. 额外加分的机会——如果存在的话——通常不会提高分数.
测试往往是频繁的,并且通常覆盖相对较少的材料. College courses may have only 2-3 tests in a semester.
High school grades do not affect your college GPA. 通过CCP课程获得的成绩是你永久大学记录的一部分, even if you change schools. Whether those grades affect your overall college GPA will depend on whether or not you transfer to another institution and the policies of that institution.

As you can see, there are real differences between high school and college, but now that you know what they are, you are already half-way there! 如果你现在还不确定大学是否适合你, please contact our Advising Office at 419-372-0886. We would love to talk with you!
