The following are Camosun College courses that are offered at Claremont during the school day or online. Some courses are paired with an equivalent high school course thereby providing students with “dual credit”. These courses are offered to students in grade 12 who are prepared for college level coursework, and provide 4 high school and 3 college (transfer) credits with concurrent registration (high school and college).
Benefits of taking a Dual Credit Course;
Provides a credit for one college/university course.
Courses offered are accepted at a majority of post-secondary institutions in British Columbia.
Tuition is paid for by the school district. Students are responsible to pay the Camosun College registration fees (≈$48)
Completing one or more of these courses saves students from paying tuition and will relieve the pressure of doing a full course load in their first year of university.
