College Credit Plus (CCP)
Franklin High School offers dual enrollment courses (students earn both high school and college credit) in English, Math, Social Studies, Foreign Language, Engineering and Theatre Appreciation. Partnerships with local colleges make these dual enrollment courses possible. Each semester, students are responsible for turning in their CCP textbooks to FHS.
College Credit Plus has been established to permit high school students in grades 9-12 to earn college and high school graduation credit through the successful completion of college courses. The program is intended to provide expanded opportunities for appropriately qualified high school students to experience coursework at the college or university level. Any high school student admitted to a course by an institution of higher education will be expected and required to perform at the same level as the institution’s regular students. Franklin High School will host a mandatory information meeting in late winter. Attendance by one parent or designee at this meeting is mandatory. Students interested in this option may take courses at Franklin High School or on a college campus.
Students in grades 9-12 who clearly demonstrate high levels of academic preparation and achievement are eligible to take classes at post-secondary institutions. Students may receive both high school and post-secondary credit, free of charge, as long as the student passes the course with a D or higher. This is the default method. If a student wishes to only receive college credit, the student will have to enroll and pay for the course themselves ahead of taking the course. A student must apply to be accepted into the program. The Franklin High School Intent to Participate Application must be submitted by APRIL 1ST in order to take CCP classes in the Fall and Spring semester or Nov. 1 in order to take classes only in the Spring semester. Applications to particular institutions for participation have varying due dates. Requirements for acceptance into the program vary among colleges. Meeting application deadlines is the student’s responsibility. The student/parent must provide FHS with notification by April 1, 2026 if the student intends to participate in this program during the fall of next school year. Students not meeting the state deadline WILL NOT be eligible to participate – No Exceptions.
**Students who receive an F or W in a College Credit Plus course will be responsible for reimbursing Franklin City Schools the cost of the course(s) in which they have failed. In addition, any student who receives an F or W in a College Credit Plus course will receive an F on their high school transcript and will be calculated into the student’s cumulative G.P.A.

Step 2 :
If the student is planning to take any CCP classes during the 2026-27 school year, families must fill out this Intent to Participate form. This form is to be submitted by April 1, 2026. If it is not submitted by April 1, you will not be enrolled in any CCP courses in the Fall.
** Again - this is an annual requirement for all CCP students (whether you are new to CCP or a returning CCP student).
Step 3 :
CCP College Application (Requirement Only for Students NEW to CCP)
Students/parents/guardians must fill out the CCP application for the college/university that the student is planning to take CCP courses through. This must be completed by May 1. The sooner the better so there is time to help and fix if you are having any issues. If it is not completed by this date, you will not be enrolled in CCP courses in the Fall.
All CCP classes at Franklin High School are through Sinclair Community College. Students new to CCP must fill out Sinclair’s CCP application. This is only for students who are wishing to take their first CCP class. If they have taken a CCP class in the past, they do not need to do this step.
Step 4 :
Testing for “College Readiness”
If you need to test, you can test remotely with Sinclair. You must make an appointment to do so. Link to Sinclair's Testing Information & Contacts
Step 5 :
Fill out and sign Sinclair’s Mature Content Questionnaire.
Step 6 :
Meet with Sinclair's Academic Advisor, Mikaela Bell-Centers - mikaela.bell-centers@sinclair.
If you plan on taking CCP classes at Franklin, Mrs. Michelle Judy will be registering you for those classes. If you plan to take classes online or on a Sinclair Campus, you will register yourself after meeting with Mikaela Bell-Centers through the my.sinclair registration portal.
Please remember: all grades earned through CCP classes are a permanent part of your college and high school transcripts are are averaged into your cumulative GPA. Students are treated as any other COLLEGE student. Late assignments are not accepted by college courses. They will earn zeros for any and all late work/tests/quizzes. Also, if a student earns an F or drops a course after the first 7 days of class, they will earn an F on their high school transcript, a W on their college transcript and have to pay for the course. The price of the course depends on where you take it and how many credit hours it is worth. Currently SInclair is $41.64 per credit hour and Miami is $166.55 per credit hour.
