Tips for a successful application

We highly recommend:

• Students meet with their high school counselor in Grade 10 or 11 to discuss your interest in dual credit
• Students complete English 12 as soon as possible (last semester of Grade 11, before the dual credit program starts, if possible).

Students interested in science-based courses such as Biology, Chemistry and or Calculus, must have the appropriate Grade 12 pre-requisites completed before starting the post-secondary equivalent at CNC.
