Community College In the High School Program (CCHSP) Information for Students & Parents Revised December 2022 Mary Ford, Director Office of Educational Partnerships 845-772-1229 Introduction to CCHSP CCHSP offers high-achieving high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to earn college credits while attending high school. The Program provides a number of benefits. It introduces students to the academic challenge of college level courses, shortens the time period needed to complete a college degree, and offers a strong addition to college applications. Many - but not all - two-year colleges and four-year colleges accept dual-enrollment credits, and you may want to check the websites of individual colleges to learn about their transfer-credit policies. The information contained in this abbreviated guide is intended to answer the questions most frequently asked by participating students and their parents regarding the SUNY Orange, Community College in the High School Program (CCHSP). It is not intended as a substitute for the College Catalog, the Student Handbook or the Academic Policy Manual. SUNY Orange CCHSP Participants John S. Burke Catholic High School; Chester Academy; Cornwall Central High School; Goshen High School; James I.
