College Credit Plus helps stu- dents earn college and high school credits at the same time by taking college courses from community colleges or universities, according to the Ohio Department of Education. Webster said that the legislature had not allocated additional money for those students, as it had for students in public school districts, to advantage of the program. Heath Martin, dean of enrollment and student services, said the college wanted to get as many high school students enrolled in Terra classes as possible, with the College Credit Plus helping the college reach more students locally. Martin said in October the fall 2015 enrollment numbers showed a head count of 2,684 students, up 3.1percent from the same time in 2014.

He said FTE (full time equivalent) student numbers also jumped .7 percent in the year-over-year totals. Martin said the college had 830 College Credit Plus students taking classes on campus at the time of the head count, a number 47 percent higher than 2014. This marked the first time since 2011the college had seen enrollment increases in its fall numbers, Martin said. Wednesday, Martin said that of those 830 students, 44 attend private high schools in the area like St. Joseph Central Catholic High School or are home schooled.
