What dual credits are available?
We keep all of our dual credits organized on our "masterchart" this can always be found at bit.ly/DCmasterchart.
This is updated regularly as we get new information for each upcoming and current session.
We often have overlapping sessions, so please be sure to navigate between the mastercharts utilizing the top menu, highlighted in yellow in the image below:
How many dual credits can I take?
Well overall, you can take up to 4 dual credits in total over the course of your Grade 11 and/or 12 years that will count towards your high school dipolma. They will count as elective credits, and cannot count as complusory credits.
We always advise that students take 1 dual credit at a time, however, there are circumstances where a student will take 2 dual credits if it works with their schedule and pathway plans. This can be discussed with your guidance counsellor and our central team.
