If a student is interested in earning a dual credit, it will be important to refer to the list of approved dual credit courses (see below)
It is the student's responsibility to register for course(s) at their desired post-secondary institution (PSSD does not provide funding to support the dual credit program)
Contact dataservices@spiritsd.ca to inform them that you have a student(s) who have completed the requirements for a dual credit. Data services will add the required dual credit class to your course catalogue, and then you can create a section and schedule the student into the class. Assign the class to the principal who will then need to input the mark into his gradebook and complete the report card at the end of the term.
Refer to Section 2.5 from page 7 of the Dual Credit Policy (see below)
Fill in all required information using either Form 8 or Form 8.1 (depending on course) (see below)

UPDATE: August 2024
There is currently a high demand for certified early childhood educators to work in regulated child care. The province is increasing the supply of qualified educators and creating opportunities for Saskatchewan high school students to explore their interest in working with children by providing tuition free early childhood educator dual credit courses for the 2024-25 and 2025-26 academic years.
Students who take early childhood educator dual credits simultaneously earn high school and post-secondary credits. They can also qualify to become an Early Childhood Educator Level I. This will help them find part-time or summer work in their home community while in high school. It will also qualify them for full-time employment in a regulated child care facility after graduation.
Students can register for this dual credit opportunity tuition free through: Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Building the Future: Opportunities for Early Childhood Educators initiative, Carlton Trail College and Suncrest College.
The attached poster can be shared with guidance counsellors, high school students and parents to highlight this opportunity.
Following completion of their three dual credit courses, students must apply for Early Childhood Educator certification with the Ministry of Education. Find out more information about how to apply for certification here.
