Dual Credit
Get a head start on your future.
Dual credit lets high school students take a real college course through NorQuest, earning high school credit and college credit at the same time. These courses can transfer to many universities and colleges across Alberta, or give you a jumpstart toward a job in a skilled field right after high school.
Consider Dual Credit! It’s a smart way to plan ahead and build your confidence. Explore subjects not offered in high school, start earning post-secondary credit, and open up your future options, all with the support of your high school.
Get a head start on your certification while still in high school!
You may even be able to graduate from one of the programs below before you finish your high school diploma.
Perfect for students who want to explore different interests and lighten their first-year course load, our Dual Credit courses cover a variety of topics, including psychology, early learning and child care, communications, and more.
Hoping to earn credit toward a future degree or diploma?
Talk to your instructor or an advisor about the NorQuest pathways your Dual Credit courses can lead to. Many of these courses also qualify for transfer credit, meaning they may count toward programs at other colleges or universities.
