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.

Why take Dual Credit? 

  • Save money: Your tuition is covered by your school district!
  • Earn credits for high school and post-secondary at once.
  • Start college with a lighter course load.
  • Build confidence in your future after graduation. 
  • Transfer credits to CNC, UNBC, and other post-secondary institutions.
