​​​Information for College Credit Plus Educators​

• For Schools: Schools will be notified by April 1 regarding acceptance into the program.
• Applications received after March 1 will be considered as space allows:
• School Partnership Application
  
  
• For Teachers: High school teachers' credentials are reviewed on a rolling basis by the Office of the VPAA in consultation with the VPAA's Director of Special Projects and Academic Initiatives. When there is a question about credentialing, the corresponding FL is asked to contribute to the review. Continued participation as a CEI is dependent upon approval and meeting the instructor responsibilities outlined below.
• Teacher Registration Form (one for each teacher)
• Resume for each teacher
• Transcripts (official or unofficial) for teachers new to the program
• What are the qualifications for instructors?
• Keep first paragraph, take out everything else and add below
  
  
• A master's degree in the content area or a master's degree in education which includes the equivalent of 18 semester hours of advanced training in the relevant subject (i.e. content-specific graduate courses, workshops, seminars and curriculum development). Relevant tested experience may also be considered as part of the credentialing process.
• One year experience teaching the course at the high school level.
• Recommendation of the district superintendent and building principal.
• ​Recommendation of the UF faculty based on successful completion of the summer workshop.​
  

What professional development do instructors receive?

• Prospective instructors attend new instructor training prior to teaching the UF course. If they choose, they may enroll for graduate credit at no cost and receive graduate credit for successfully completing the workshop. Upon successful completion of initial training, instructors return to campus each summer for an annual re-training day. In addition, professional development support is provided throughout the year by the Faculty Liaisons who mentor the instructors.​
  

What are the syllabus requirements?

• All UF courses, both on-campus and CCP, use the standard syllabus template that includes all elements required by the University.  While instructors have the academic freedom to modify some elements, the course catalog description and learning outcomes are always included.

• Faculty liaisons review CCP syllabi at the start of each semester, making sure these syllabi have these elements as well as the grading scale for the course, agreed upon grading distribution, and assessments.
  

Do instructors have access to online tools?

• ​CCP teachers may need to use their Findlay email accounts to utilize web-based course management functions and to receive Findlay correspondence. Schools or their districts agree to provide internet access for teachers to UF's Learning Management System​.

​Is there a class size limit?

• ​​Enrollment in the CCP courses will adhere to caps for the course on-campus. High school classes must agree to respect the class size limits for those classes in which students are enrolled for UF credit even if not all students in the class are taking the course for CCP credit. If m​ore than the permitted number of eligible students desire to enroll in the class, a diagnostic test may be administered to assist schools in selecting the students for the class or a second section may be opened. These sections should be evenly balanced. 
  

Does that student receive a college transcript for the class and will classes transfer to another university?

• ​Upon successful completion of a course, each student may request a transcript from The University of Findlay. Students are graded using the University of Findlay’s grading scale for the course. The University is an accredited institution, which means that credits earned will likely transfer seamlessly to another Ohio institution. However, UF recommends that students contact the registrar’s office of prospective colleges prior to enrolling in UF CCP courses to inquire about credit transfer or visit the Transferology website. More information on requesting a transcript is available at the​ Office of The Registrar​​.

Will student families receive a bill?

• ​Students may receive a bill if they attend a non-public school and do not receive state funding. Students who exceed the state maximum of 30 credit hours per year of CCP coursework will receive a bill for additional hours​​ taken.​
