Student SSID/UIN Numbers

CCP data files do require either the CCP student’s SSID (for public school student) or UIN (for nonpublic or home school student) for submission. Higher Education institutions may submit files that include the student’s SSID/UIN and continue to try to obtain students’ appropriate number and submit additional files as the students’ numbers are provided.

Only students/parents can request and receive the SSID/UIN number:

• For public school students - Get your SSID by calling your school counselor or your district’s EMIS coordinator.
• For nonpublic or home school students - Your UIN is located in the student’s award letter. Parents may obtain the letter by logging into their SAFE account and accessing their student’s application. For further help, call or email Wendy Casterline at Wendy.Casterline@education.ohio.gov or 614-728-5002.

ODHE/ODE cannot give the number(s) to postsecondary institutions.

2016-2017 College Credit Plus Default Funding Structure

The College Credit Plus program default funding structure is established by Ohio Revised Code 3365.07. The CCP default amounts are based on the Per Pupil Foundation rate, that is determined by Ohio’s General Assembly and may change annually.

In 2016-2017 the Foundation rate is expected to be $6,000.

To calculate the ceiling per credit hour rate:

1. Multiply $6,000 by .83 
2. Divide the result by 30 = the Ceiling per credit hour amount. [$166.00 for 2016-2017] 

A course delivered off campus (in a high school) with faculty instruction is 50% of the ceiling rate [$83.00 for 2016-2017]

The floor is 25% of the ceiling rate [$41.50 for 2016-2017]
