Accuplacer

If you have not yet completed a full year of high school and need assessment testing to meet admission criteria, you may schedule an Accuplacer Reading Test with the Firelands Testing Center. Accuplacer Reading will be remotely proctored and does not require you to come to campus. Please be sure to have a laptop or device that allows full audio and video via Zoom for your proctored session. There is no time limit on the Accuplacer Reading test, but on average students will complete the test within 25-30 minutes. Please call us at 419-372-1537 for instructions on scheduling.
 

All BGSU College Credit Plus students are responsible for abiding by the terms and conditions listed below. The BGSU CCP Terms and Conditions are subject to change. 

• Students must submit their Intent to Participate form to their school district before the required state deadline. 

• It is the responsibility of the student to confirm with their high school counselor that they are meeting high school graduation requirements.

• Students must consult with their college academic advisor and high school counselor prior to making any changes to their college course schedule. 
  

• Students must not exceed the maximum number of credit hours allowed per academic year under college credit plus. Exceeding this credit hour limit will result in self-pay courses at full undergraduate tuition rates. Summer semester is the official beginning of an academic year and classes count toward the credit hour total. 

• If a student fails a course, stops attending a course, withdraws from a course after the census date, or cannot complete a course as a result of disciplinary action(s), it may be their responsibility to pay any fees assessed by their local school district including tuition, fees, book charges, and other materials. 

• It is the student's responsibility to check their BGSU email daily. Students are responsible for knowing the classes in which they are registered and their grades earned. Students are also responsible for knowing BGSU CCP academic dates and deadlines.

• Students are permitted to drop a CCP class before the posted academic session census date with no penalty. If a student drops a class on or after the census date, they may be financially liable for the cost of the course and will receive a “W” on their official college transcript which may impact eligibility for financial aid as an undergraduate student.  

• Summer enrollment does not count toward athletic eligibility. Students are responsible for discussing eligibility requirements with their school counselor and athletic director.

• BGSU courses may not be compatible with Chromebooks and students may need to secure access to another computer type. Students should conact their instructor before the semester starts if concerned about Chromebook compatibility.

• Courses taken at BGSU are part of a college transcript and grades earned will be reflected in a CCP student’s BGSU GPA. The grades earned at BGSU will be a part of the student’s official undergraduate record, regardless of the institution they attend after high school graduation.  Students are responsible for ordering official transcripts to send to other colleges for transfer evaluation.  
  

• Students are subject to the State and BGSU College Credit Plus Probation and Dismissal Policies if they do not maintain good academic standing.

• Students are held to the same standards and expectations as any other undergraduate student. This includes, but is not limited to, the BGSU Codes of Academic Conduct and Student Conduct as well as other University policies.

• Students may apply for accessibility services by submitting documentation of their diability for review by The Office Accessibility Services staff. An IEP or 504 plan from K-12 is no way binding upon any institution or entity outside of the school in which it was developed. A student with an IEP or 504 plan from K-12 mau not be eligible for accommodations at the college level. Students desiring services are advised to contact the office as soon as they know they will be attending the university. There is no deadline to apply for services, but the review process can take two to three weeks.

• The subject matter of a course enrolled in under the College Credit Plus program may include mature subject matter or materials, including those of graphic, explicit, violent, or sexual nature, which will not be modified based upon a College Credit Plus student’s participation regardless of where course instruction occurs. 

Once admitted, students will receive an email with their next steps. This will include their personal BGSU ID# that will be used to set up a MyBGSU account online at: www.bgsu.edu/newaccount.

To register for classes, all students enrolling in a course on BGSU’s campus or online with BGSU must schedule an appointment to meet with their Academic Advisor. Schedule by calling 419-372-1537 or emailing ccplus@bgsu.edu.

Students enrolling in BGSU courses held at their high school will be registered through their high school. Students should first speak with their high school counselor if they are interested in taking BGSU courses at their high school.

Course placements are not required for admission to BGSU. However, some BGSU courses may require a placement assessment to determine the appropriate course level for each student. This generally applies to writing, math, or world languages. Discuss with your academic advisor if a course placement is needed.

CCP Course Placements

The BG1 Card is the official identification card for BGSU students, faculty, and staff. It provides access to events and campus facilities. It is recommended that CCP students obtain a BG1 Card if they are coming to BGSU’s campus for courses. Students interested in obtaining a BG1 card should visit the BG1 Card office website for instructions.
