If you are interested in taking classes offered at your high school, contact your school counselor. If you are interested in taking classes offered at MTC including online classes, contact Advising at 740-386-4636 Ext. 4000 or email advising@mtc.edu to schedule an advising appointment.

In order to determine the number of credit hours a student can take in a year, the secondary school must calculate the number of course credits that are for high school credit only and multiply that by 3. That number is then subtracted from the 30 hours. The result is the maximum number of credit hours a student can take in the College Credit Plus program. (This is based on a semester system.)

30 – (high school only credits x 3) = Maximum number of College Credit Plus credit hours

This calculation must be completed each year for a student as the high school credits may change. Also, students may only take a maximum of 120 credit hours in the program.

If students would like to take more than the maximum number of credit hours, the student can arrange to register and pay for those additional credit hours as a “self-pay” student.

Students taking classes at MTC, including online courses, should follow the general student registration process. Call 740-386-4636 EXT. 4000 about registration windows and scheduling an advising appointment.

Please visit MTC’s calendar for registration date information.

Students interested in taking classes at a High School site should contact their school counselor. The high school counselor provides roster information to MTC for student registration.

Students can drop a course by the Census Date and it will appear as if they never attended, there will be no transcript entry, and no charges will be accrued.  Students can Withdraw from a course later in the term.  The last day to withdraw from a class is typically around the tenth week of a sixteen-week term, check the MTC calendar for specific dates each term.  If a student Withdraws from a course, a W will be listed for that course on their transcript, it will not impact their GPA, but CCP students may be required to repay their school district.

A link to MTC’s calendar can be found here.

For information regarding CCP warning and probation, please follow this link.

CCP students may need to show their midterm grade(s).  Here are two options:

1. Email your professor and request your current grade. (Some high schools have forms that can be scanned and emailed.) Forward the response to your school counselor.
2. Login to your Canvas account and print or screenshot your current grades to submit to your school counselor.

Classes taught at the high schools by MTC or high school faculty follow the MTC calendar.  As a faculty member, please follow the due dates set by your course coordinator.

Student-Athletes must remain eligible in accordance with the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) bylaws, which require students to be passing five, one-credit high school courses, or the equivalent per grading period, with the high school and college courses combined. Most College Credit Plus courses taken during a semester will equal one Carnegie unit (one high school credit), allowing students the opportunity to earn more than the required five for athletic eligibility. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange a method for obtaining a progress report as needed with the college faculty in order to determine eligibility.

CCP students must schedule their classes with an advisor. During your last advising appointment, alert your advisor that you will be graduating. Your advisor will go over the transition steps for CCP students.  If it’s been some time since you have taken your college classes, or you want to prepare for an advising appointment after you’ve graduated, you will need to reapply to the college as a general student.  The general application can be found here.
