College Credit Plus - Next Steps

All students must activate their AU email, including those who take courses at their high school.

About a week after receiving your acceptance email, we will send your AU username and ID number to the email address you provided in your application. This process is manual, so please be patient for the email to arrive. Wait seven business days before reaching out if you don’t see it, checking your spam folder first.

Activate your AU account promptly and check your inbox regularly with Outlook on the web. Delaying activation may result in missing important messages and exclusion from CCP participation. Going forward, use your AU email for all communication with staff and faculty.

If you encounter account setup or technical problems, contact IT at 419-289-5405 or au-tsc@ashland.edu. Remember to identify yourself by also providing your AU ID number when seeking assistance.

If you are comfortable searching for AU campus and online courses on your own based on the information you learned in the Orientation Module, you may submit your registration requests via the registration form, ashland.edu/ccp-registration. (Remember that you are NOT able to register yourself at Self-Service; that functionality has been disabled for CCP students. Also, do NOT try to "add courses to your plan" – CCP advisors won't be notified if you do.)

If you would like assistance in searching and selecting courses, please view advising opportunities at ashland.edu/ccp-advising. Pick up your AU lanyard, ID holder, and laptop sticker when you attend an in-person session!

Remember the placement requirements for these popular courses:

• MATH 108 (Introductory Statistics) - 18 math ACT, 480 SAT, or Accuplacer QAS 263 (AAF scores not accepted). You must have approval from the Math Department to take this course on the AU campus on online; see the orientation module for instructions.
• ENG 101 (English Composition I) - 18 English ACT, 470 SAT, 263 Accuplacer Writing, or HS GPA > 3.0 and HS sophomore.
• Foreign Languages - Take the WebCape placement assessment. Visit the Languages and Literatures Department for instructions.

IMMEDIATELY after being registered, you should ALWAYS verify the accuracy of your schedule, by viewing it in Self-Service in the Student Planning section. Contact the CCP office right away if you need to make a schedule change, collegecreditplus@ashland.edu.

Depending on when AU receives rosters from the high schools, students enrolled in “in-house” courses (at the high school) may not see classes on their schedule until July or August.

Campus Quest is a fun, interactive event to discover AU services available to you.

While this event is optional, it is strongly recommended for your success.

• Campus Quest is held annually each June, with several dates to choose from. RSVP at ashland.edu/campus-quest.
• Meet the CCP Staff who will supply you with a map of campus to start you on your Quest.
• Journey across Ashland University's Campus and learn about all the different services available to you as an AU CCP Student.
• Have your map punched at each stop after gathering important information.
• Return to the CCP office with your Quest completed to pick up your Welcome Gift (Engraved Hydro Flask bottle and Exclusive Event T-shirt)! Sorry, we are unable to ship welcome gifts to students who do not attend in person.

Complete the Blackboard Ultra tutorial before your first semester begins to learn how to successfully navigate and use the Blackboard Ultra learning management system. Go to the link to the training and click the self-enroll (Submit) button. (You will need to log in to Blackboard.) After doing so, you will be placed in the course and able to access the content in the Courses section.

Remember that Blackboard is where you will access your courses (but not until the start of the course), while Self-Service is where you can view your schedule. See Step #3 above for directions on viewing your schedule.

Your Eagle Card gets you into Ashland University events as well as certain secured areas. It also allows you to access a wide array of goods and services by functioning as your:

• Library card
• Ticket to home athletic events
• Dining card - Add "Eagle Dollars" to your card for use at campus dining locations​
• Rec Center access (see info below)
• Printing at campus copier locations
• Participation in campus groups and organizations​ - Visit Engage Ashland
• Discounts at local merchants​

​We encourage all students to obtain their Eagle Card, even if they won't be on campus regularly. Your card can be mailed to you if you live a significant distance from AU.

1. You must be registered for classes to obtain your Eagle Card.
2. Upload your photo at Transact Campus, being certain to enter your activated AU email address, not your personal address. Watch for an invitation from the Eagle Card Office and follow their directions.
3. Learn more about your Eagle Card.

• Courses at your High School - View additional details.
• How to Order Textbooks - View additional details.

If you visit the bookstore website during August and nothing is listed for your course, do not assume there is nothing to order unless the website specifically states a book is not required for your course. Even though it seems like the start of the semester is just around the corner, many professors will submit their textbook selections to the bookstore after August 1. Wait just a bit, then recheck the website. If nothing is listed, please contact the bookstore directly at books@ashland.edu.
