College Credit Plus Direct Admission Program
College Credit Plus (CCP) students are an important part of the Kent State community who have already demonstrated college readiness.
The CCP Direct Admission Program streamlines the transition for students enrolled in Kent State CCP courses, allowing graduating high school seniors in the Class of 2027 and beyond to continue as Golden Flashes as first-year, degree-seeking undergraduate students.
Program Benefits
- Creates a seamless transition from Kent State CCP student to first-year undergraduate student
- Shortens the application process
- Removes barriers, such as the application fee
Eligibility Requirements
- Have a 3.0 cumulative high school GPA and/or a 2.75 cumulative Kent State GPA
- High school grades will be used to determine eligibility for in-progress CCP coursework
- Earned or will earn a minimum of three (3) credit hours through CCP at Kent State
- Must be in good academic standing with the university without any active holds preventing registration
Students who do not meet these criteria or choose to apply through the traditional admissions process can apply for admission with the Kent State application or the Common App and will still receive a holistic review for admission to the Kent Campus or one of our seven Regional Campuses.
How to Apply for CCP Direct Admission
When the Kent State application opens Aug. 1, eligible students will receive an email with a personalized link to update their original KSU admissions application at no cost and select their major.
This will be sent to the email address first used to apply to CCP in addition to their KSU email address. To complete the application, students must also request an updated and/or final high school transcript.
