Dual Credit programs are facilitated through partnerships between local school boards, the Ontario Ministry of Education and post-secondary institutions. They offer secondary students a unique pathway to earn credits towards both their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and a post-secondary certificate, diploma, degree, or apprenticeship training at the same time.
Dual credit programs are intended to help secondary school students complete their OSSD and support a successful transition to a college program or apprenticeship. The course offerings span a variety of interest areas and career pathways. Students may earn a maximum of four optional credits from courses delivered by a college. However, there is no maximum limit on the secondary credits they can earn from courses that are team-taught jointly by college instructors and high school teachers.
