What is Dual Credit?
The South Island Partnership (SIP) between Camosun College, the five School Districts of Southern Vancouver Island and local industry leaders aims to provide opportunities for students to jump-start their post-secondary education and workplace careers by participating SIP programming while they are still enrolled in High School. Students in a SIP program earn both High School Credits and Post Secondary Credits.
Top 5 Reasons to take the Dual Credit option
- Your school district covers your tuition
- Credits earned go directly toward your High School and Post Secondary transcripts
- Most courses are transferable to other colleges and universities
- Avoids the five-course crunch in your first year. Five can be a lot!
- Build your confidence going into future options
