Dual Credits | Durham College

School-College-Work Initiative

The dual credit program at Durham College allows students to participate in post-secondary courses and apprenticeship training, earning dual credits that count towards both their high school diploma and their post-secondary diploma, degree or apprenticeship certification.

Dual credits engage students through exposure to college courses and culture while supporting their successful transition to post-secondary education. Presently, over 2,000 area high school students are taking a dual credit program with Durham College.

Dual credit programs help students to:

Discover the various college and apprenticeship pathways available
Test drive a skilled trade
Benefit from the supervision and support of their college instructor and the dual credit teacher at their school
Complete their Ontario Secondary School Diploma
Make a successful transition to college or an apprenticeship program
Get a new perspective on life beyond high school and begin training for a well-paid and fulfilling job
Experience College while still in High School - at no cost to the parent or student
