OVERALL ENROLLMENT

College Credit Plus was enacted under House Bill 487 by Ohio’s 130th General Assembly, effective September 2014 with full implementation in the fall term of 2015. Since then, as shown in Figure 1, overall enrollment for 2016-2017 grew from 54,053 enrollments in the ﬁrst year to 68,365. Year two included summer term, during which the enrollment represented 10% of the total.

2015-2016 2016-2017

INSTITUTIONTYPE

Public institutions of higher education are required to participate in College Credit Plus, whereas private institutions can choose to participate. For year two, the overall number of private colleges and universities increased by three (32 in 2015-2016), Figure 2.

DELIVERY METHOD

Colleges and universities can offer courses through four primary delivery methods: at the high school location with a college-employed faculty member providing the instruction; at the high school with an approved, credentialed high school instructor; on the college campus; or online. Figure 3 provides the number of course sections offered by delivery method by year. In all four methods, the number of course sections increased. Figure 4 shows the percentage of all college courses by delivery methods by year. Though the percentage of courses delivered at the high school decreased slightly from year one to year two, this is accounted for with the increase in percentage of courses offered at the college campus and online.

STUDENT PARTICIPATION BY RACE/ETHNICITY

Figure 7 provides a look at College Credit Plus participant races compared to the Ohio high school student population races for 2016-2017.This allows a glimpse into the races of students in Ohio and whether the students are proportionately represented in the program. In comparison to year one, 2015-2016 (not included in this ﬁgure), slight enrollment increases were counted for students with self-reported races of African American (2015-2016, 6.3%), Asian (1.7%), and Multiple Races (1.8%), and decreases with students of Caucasian/White (71.6%) and Hispanic (2.6%) races. Note that “unknown” indicates that either the institution did not report the students’ races or the students did not self-disclose their races.

STUDENTS BY ECONOMIC STATUS

Students who are considered economically disadvantaged are deﬁned in Ohio Revised Code as those who qualify for Free or Reduced Lunch or for another government-sponsored system. Figure 8 provides a comparison of participants in years one and two of the program, and their economic status. In the second year of the program, fewer students were “unknown” as the data matches continue to improve within the reporting systems.

STUDENTS BY DISABILITY STATUS

The percentage of students with a disability has remained similar for both years of the program, whereas students with no disabilities did increase to 70.5% for year two as shown in Figure 9.The “unknown” category is decreasing in year two due to improvements in data matching.

COURSE ENROLLMENTS

The number of college courses that students take remains similar from year one to year two. Nearly 60% of students are taking one or two college courses. Overall, 80% are enrolled in four or fewer courses over the course of the academic year (summer through spring) as shown in Figure 10.The average number of courses completed per participant for 2016-2017 was 2.58 courses.

LEVEL OF INSTRUCTION

The enrollment of students in college courses based on level of instruction is illustrated in Figure 11. This indicates that, for students enrolled at public institutions, 67% of the students are in general studies courses, and the remainder in baccalaureate and technical level courses.The small percentage of developmental education courses continues to be a concern, and follow-up research will be done, as these are not allowable courses for College Credit Plus.
