The recently adapted “First 15” Rule requires CCP students to complete 15 credit hours in courses designated as Level 1 by each college before continuing to more advanced Level 2 classes. All of the CCP courses taught at WHS are Level 1. Post-secondary schools are required to list the courses deemed Level 1 on their website and our school counselors can help determine eligibility for the classes you’re considering.

• Tri-C Level One Courses
• LCCC Level One Courses

Additionally, students deemed “underperforming” in CCP courses will be placed on CCP Probation if they have one or both of the following conditions:

• A student has a cumulative GPA of lower than a 2.0 in college courses taken through the CCP program (this rule does not take into account the high school GPA, just college courses).
• A student withdraws from, or receives no credit for, two or more courses in the same term. (Withdrawing from a course occurs when the student dis-enrolls from a course after the census date and the secondary school is financially responsible for the tuition, fees and textbooks associated with the course.)

Any student deemed ineligible for a second consecutive term of enrollment will be dismissed from the CCP program. Students may appeal their probation or dismissal status. More Information

Students placed on CCP Probation or CCP Dismissal will be sent home with an official Probation/Dismissal Form, including information how to appeal.
