Dual Credit

Dual Credits are Ministry of Education approved courses that allow students, while still in secondary school, to take college courses that count towards both their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and a postsecondary certificate, diploma, degree, or a Certificate of Apprenticeship. Dual Credit courses are intended to assist students in completing their OSSD.

The TCDSB has partnerships with Centennial College, George Brown College, Humber Polytechnic, and Seneca Polytechnic to offer Dual Credit courses.
