During registration for Grades 10, 11 and 12, with a teacher’s recommendation, students may enroll in Advanced Placement (AP), and College Credit Plus (CCP) courses. Teacher recommendations are based on an evaluation of their class work and work ethic in their current or subject related courses at Hoban. Students should not plan to be able to reenter an honors program once they have withdrawn or been withdrawn from it.
Advanced Placement and College Credit Plus courses at Hoban can result in college credit. In all cases, the college a student applies to determines if the credit is accepted. Students and parents should consult with the admission counselor and visit the college website for their policy on credit earned in high school.
The purpose of these opportunities is to promote rigorous academic excellence and provide a wide variety of options for students. These options are open to all qualified students who meet both Hoban and the university prerequisites for enrollment.
Advanced Placement (AP) courses are taught by Hoban faculty using the curriculum approved by the College Board. Successful completion of coursework in the Advanced Placement Program allows students the opportunity to take the AP exam in May. Students who earn a score of 3, 4 or 5 on the AP test receive credit that is accepted by many colleges and universities. Students can only receive such credit if they take the AP test. Students will be required to pay the test fee to take the AP exam.
College Credit Plus (CCP) allows students to take college classes at either Hoban or on a local college campus. CCP courses are funded by the Ohio Legislature after an application has been completed and the student has met the program requirements. Students who choose to attend an Ohio public college or university are not charged tuition and fees or for textbooks. Students who decide to take classes at a private college or university may have limited costs, fees or textbook cost. Students who successfully complete CCP classes will receive both high school and college credit without taking an exit exam. Archbishop Hoban has students participating in CCP courses through Kent State, University of Mount Union, Stark State College and Walsh University. Students must be at Hoban for at least three classes.
