Dual credit is optional career-based high school programming
High School & Upgrading menu
Post secondary dual credit courses are for students who want to earn both high school credits and credits that count towards a post-secondary certificate, diploma or degree. Dual credit courses allow students to build on or discover their career passions and interests.
Dual credit students:
- Complete three post-secondary credits and five 30-level CTS credits, *unless otherwise noted
- Get a start on their post-secondary education while in high school
- Seamlessly transition to post-secondary studies or into the world of work
For 2024-25, dual credit courses will be offered in Semester 2 during the evening.
Important considerations for Dual Credit
- Students should speak with their families, teachers or school counsellors about their dual credit options and decide what is right for them.
- Students should consider the commitment and workload required for a post-secondary level course, including how it will fit into both personal and academic schedules.
- Students will need to complete the necessary prerequisites.
