Dual Credit

Dual Credit Programs (2026–2027)

What Is Dual Credit?

Dual Credit programs allow Grade 11 and 12 students to earn both secondary school credit(s) and college credit(s) at the same time.

In partnership with Mohawk College, students experience college‑level learning while still in high school. Courses are taught by Mohawk College instructors at either the Fennell Campus or Stoney Creek Campus, depending on the program. Student progress is monitored and supported by an HWDSB teacher.
