Dual Credit courses allow secondary school students to take publicly funded college courses that count towards both their high school diploma and a postsecondary certificate or diploma. These courses provide an introduction to the postsecondary experience and allow students to gain exposure to a chosen career path.
Funding for Dual Credit courses is provided by the Ministry of Education. This funding covers all costs, including transportation to and from campus.

"Dual Credit gives you a chance to get ahead of the game, so embrace the opportunity and live it to the fullest! Through my Introduction to Psychology class I found a genuine curiosity and aptitude for learning about the mind, our behaviours and how they are connected. My experience in Dual Credit was nothing short of remarkable, so I continued my educational journey in the same remarkable place; ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø!"

Being in the program gave me a sense of independence and the confidence I needed to apply for a full-time program. Taking a college-level course while still in high school helped shift my mindset. It prepared me for what was ahead and brought a sense of calm, knowing that I was capable of handling postsecondary learning."

"This program helped me find myself and learn what I needed. I gained better writing skills and learned how to express and share my thoughts in essays and reflections. I’ve always wanted to apply to the Bachelor of Computer Science program and being in SWAC pushed me to apply to ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø. I already knew the environment and my surroundings on campus and I felt like this was the right school for me."

"Being able to be on a postsecondary campus and earn a credit while still in high school makes such a huge difference.
