Dual Credits

What are Dual Credits?

Dual credits allow students to explore their interests in selected college programs. They offer students an opportunity to experience learning in a college environment with a college faculty member.  

Upon course completion, students earn an elective secondary school credit and are issued a college credit on a college transcript. The course will be recognized at college if they choose to attend a program for which the course is a requirement. 

Dual credits give students opportunities to sample post-secondary education, to work in college labs, to experience a new environment and to build their confidence to be successful at the post-secondary level. Dual credit programs begin and end at various times throughout the school year, students will attend dual credit classes and PACE classes at the same time.
