30 – 3(HS credits) = CCP credits per school year

CCP Credit Formula

The CCP law states the school district can pay up to 30

credits per school year with a maximum of 120 for the

student‘s total time in the program. The 30 credits is a

combination of high school and college credits using the

formula above. A student that chooses to go over 30

credits per school year will be financially responsible for

the overage and will be charged the per credit rate of

that college.

30 – 3(3 HS credits) = CCP credits for school year

30 – 9 HS credits = 21 CCP credits for school year
