Dual-Credit Opportunities

Dual Credit Courses

Did you know that high school students can get a jump start on their post-secondary education by earning college credit while still in high school?

Students can take “dual credit courses” as part of their high school program and receive credits toward their high school diploma, and at the same time, earn college credit – with NO tuition fees! 

Students should speak with their school's academic advisor to see what dual credit courses are currently offered and if dual credit is a good fit for them.
