About Dual Credit
Dual credit is a program that allows high school students to take post-secondary courses or programs and earn credit toward both their high school diploma and post-secondary credentials. The British Columbia Ministry of Education and Child Care recognizes dual credit programs. qathet has partnerships with Vancouver Island University, North Island College, and Camosun College. qathet School District will sponsor students in June for the upcoming school year. Students can either take a program from September to June or engage in two academic courses that align with their future pathway. We can support students with local VIU courses and programs or courses online through either NIC or Camosun.
