Dual Credit

What is Dual Credit?

The Dual Credit program allows Grade 11 & 12 students (must be 16-years-old once course begins) to take college or apprenticeship courses that count towards both the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and a post-secondary certificate, diploma, or degree, or an apprenticeship certification.  Students may earn up to four optional credits through college-delivered courses.

There are many advantages to taking a Dual Credit course:

  • Experience college while still in high school at no cost to you (course fee, materials, transportation - all free).

  • 1 course = 2 credits (one high school; one college) 

  • Learn in state-of-the-art College facilities (e.g. professional kitchen) while being taught by college professors

  • Explore different pathway options

  • Try something new  

Interested students should speak to a Guidance Counselor for further information.
