Dual Credit Programs

Dual Credit programs build on a strong foundation and long history of effective school board and college partnerships at the local level to actively promote college and apprenticeship as pathways of choice for more secondary school students. Dual Credit Programs are intended to assist secondary students in the completion of their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and their successful transition to college and apprenticeship programs.
