It is important that College Credit program students and parents understand their responsibilities when students are enrolled in courses through Terra State Community College. The following will help students and parents understand the College’s expectations. By signing this form, I acknowledge that I have reviewed and understand my responsibilities as a College Credit Plus program student as outlined here. 



Courses: College Credit Plus students are welcome to enroll in a variety of courses at Terra State Community College including, online and classes at Terra State campus. Students who enroll in courses at Terra State Community College must meet all course prerequisites. See the College Catalog course descriptions for specific prerequisites Scheduling: All scheduling must be with your CCP Academic Advisor. The College cannot always guarantee specific course availability.



College Calendar: Please review Terra State Community College’s Academic Calendar. The calendar lists the start/end dates of each term, holidays that the college observes and other important dates.



Attendance: Attendance and participation in class and laboratory activities may affect your grade at Terra State Community College. If the College is in session, students are required to attend college classes even if the home high school is closed. College closings and delays due to inclement weather are not as frequent as high school closings. Attendance in classes at the college are the student’s responsibility. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor as soon as possible to make up work.



Tuition for College Credit Plus College Courses: Terra State Community College will not charge the student or his/her parents(s) tuition or fees for a college course scheduled that are permitted by state law. Costs for textbooks will also be covered. However, if the student receives a grade of “F” for one or more of the College courses or do not attend courses offered by Terra State Community College as scheduled, the student and guardians, may be assessed the tuition, fees, and textbook/laboratory manual costs for the course. By signing this agreement below, I acknowledge that I am responsible for the costs associated with a course I receive a grade a “F” in.



Textbooks: Textbooks are purchased and loaned to students by the home high school. If the student loses or damages textbooks the local school may require reimbursement from student.



Course Supplies: Terra State Community College DOES NOT provide course supplies for College Credit Plus students (calculators, pens, computer disks, etc.). The student is responsible for the purchase of these items.



Grades: Students may view their grades at the end of each academic term through their Terra State Student Portal. Terra State does not send grades to the home. Once they are formally enrolled in a Terra State course, students will learn how to access the Student Portal. A copy of the college grade report will also be sent to the student’s home high school as well. If a student receives a “F” in a course they may be placed on academic probation.
