College Credit Plus Program (CCP)
The College Credit Plus program gives college-bound high school students the opportunity to earn college credit and high school credit simultaneously. This gives students the advantage of starting the transition to college early, while reducing the cost and length of time needed to graduate once they enroll in college. High school students can take part in the college experience, interacting with full-time college students and university faculty, while experiencing the rigor of college-level courses. Courses may be taken face-to-face at a college campus, online, or here at NHS for specific courses.
Students should see their school counselor for detailed information pertaining to eligibility requirements in order to participate in CCP. Students and parents who are interested must attend an annual informational meeting held at NHS where they will obtain an informational packet, sign the intent to participate, and have the opportunity to meet with high school counselors and college admissions officers. At the informational meeting, NHS counselors review all information related to College Credit Plus, provide the student and parents with a detailed checklist, and provide the student and parent with contact information for NHS counselors and their CCP advisor in case questions arise during the application or enrollment process.
