Post-Secondary Dual Credit

Students are entitled to earn "dual credit" if they earn credit that leads to a post-secondary credential from a post-secondary institution which is a member of the British Columbia Transfer System or offered in French through the auspices of Educacentre.

Post-secondary courses for which credit may be earned will be: (1) listed in the most recent edition of the British Columbia Council on Admissions and Transfer Guide, or (2) specified in individual Career Technical Centre (CTC) program agreements, or (3) included in a BC public post-secondary institution's calendar as a course leading to a credential of one year or less, a two-year diploma or a four year degree.

Applicable post-secondary level courses count towards the required number of Grade 12 credits. All post-secondary level courses will be reported using course codes listed in the Course Information Book.

For reporting and transcript purposes, schools must assign all credits earned at a post-secondary institution a letter grade and percentage. Provided a course consists of the standard number of hours for most courses offered at that post-secondary institution, such courses will be awarded four credits, regardless of the number of credits indicated on the post-secondary institution's transcript, unless the course is offered in modules. Credits for modular courses should be proportionate to 4 credits for the whole course.
