Dual Credit courses offer grade 12 students an opportunity to explore university and college level courses. 
As of right now, our students are limited to one dual credit course/program in their highs school career unless they are directly connected and required by a specific Post Secondary Credential.  Please talk to Ms. Giesbrecht if you have any questions.

Why take a dual credit course?

• Your tuition is covered by your school district
• Credits earned go directly toward your High School and Post Secondary transcripts
• Most courses are transferable to other colleges and universities
• Avoids the five-course crunch in your first year. Five can be a lot!
• Build your confidence going into future options
• Understand post-secondary culture and terminology
