Dual Credit courses are available at virtually every secondary school and college in Ontario.

Dual Credit courses vary from school to school and semester to semester. Contact your school Guidance or Student Success office for more information.

Dual Credit courses are targeted to specifically identified students and entrance requirements for DC courses may vary by course, school or board. Your local guidance counsellor can tell you what is available, what the requirements are, and can help you to apply.

Students are allowed to have up to four college-delivered Dual Credit courses and an unlimited number of team-taught Dual Credits.

There are no costs for secondary school students attending a Dual Credit Course. Books and transportation are provided free of charge to all students attending regularly.

College course hours vary. Dual Credit courses are usually delivered once or twice per week within the normal high school timetable. Travel time and required field trips may impact other secondary school courses in certain cases.

In some cases, your Durham College Dual Credit will apply to programs at Durham College.  Please check the Dual Credit Transfer Guide or consult the Application for Credit Transfer Student Self-Evaluation Guide to determine if you are eligible for credit transfer. After comparing the courses you previously completed to the courses in your current program, you can proceed with submitting an Application for Credit Transfer.

In some cases, your Durham College DC will apply to your course of study at another college. Contact the Office of the Registrar of the college you will attend for more information.
