WHAT IS THE CREDIT IN ESCROW PROGRAM? Academic Credit in Escrow is designed to provide opportunities for high school senior students to enroll in one college course each quarter which is not available to them at their local schools and/or in areas where the high school sequence of courses has been completed. Cuyahoga Community College credit will be awarded for successful completion of such course work. The objectives of Academic Credit in Escrow are: 1. To permit high school students to take courses not available in their high schools and offered through Cuyahoga Community College which will compliment their educational program. 2. To provide an opportunity for enrichment of high school offerings. 3. To encourage exploration of new fields and exposure to collegiate teaching methods and procedures. The College also recognizes the Advanced Placement Program. This is a nationally administered program in which college-level courses are available in high school to selected students. The College Entrance Examination Board prepares tests to grade the high school students taking courses in the program. The College will grant credit for selected courses in which you have attained satisfactory test scores. You should consult you high school counselor or the CCC Office of Admissions and Records if you want more information.

The College, in turn, accepts responsibility for certifying veterans' enrollment to the Veterans' Administration; for notifying the V.A. of academic status changes and students' failure to attend classes; and whether student/veterans are making satisfactory academic progress.
