Dual Credit Overview
Dual credit programming at Olds College provides students in grades 10 to 12 the opportunity to take an approved post-secondary course while still in high school.
Dual credit programming is designed to support high school students in career exploration and experiences. This helps prepare them for career selection and post-secondary education readiness while they are still within the support structures of high school.
Why Enrol in Dual Credit Programming
Research indicates a number of benefits for students in dual credit programs, including increased student attendance, student engagement and achievement, and career and life goal setting. Students have a chance to complete post-secondary programming before they graduate. The CLC partnership between Chinook’s Edge School Division and Olds College allows a seamless approach to the delivery of dual credit programming.
As each school division may have different dual credit offerings, all details about dual credit courses are available through a student’s high school. Generally, students in Grades 10 to 12 are able to apply for dual credit courses and programs. A student’s Guidance Career Counsellor will assist in determining if there is a dual credit course or program that is a right fit.
Get Started
To apply for a dual credit course, please contact your school authority to understand its particular requirements and student selection process. Olds College can only work directly with partnered school authorities and their key contacts for student enrolment.
