Dual Credit students

Welcome! 

Whether you're just getting started with Dual Credit or returning for another course, we’re glad you’re here. At NorQuest, we believe that we are who we include, and that means creating a supportive, welcoming space for every student.  

As a Dual Credit student, you’re part of our college community. You’ll have access to student events and NorQuest resources, including our library, Centre for Growth and Harmony, Career Centre, and more.  

Ready to get started?  

Once you have enrolled in Dual Credit, taking the right steps early will set you up for success! Stay organized and proactive by following these key actions: 

  • Check in with your school to gather all the information you’ll need to succeed.
  • If you need accommodations, book a meeting with an Accessibility Advisor.
  • Stay on top of updates by regularly checking for emails to your new NorQuest email address through MyMail
  • Log into misiwe pehtâkwan if you're taking an online course. 
  • Reach out to your instructor, introduce yourself, and find the best way to stay in touch throughout the course. 

Tip: Keep a copy of your course outline—it might be needed for transfer credit requests later!

Staying on track

Your success in the course depends on your participation and effort. Your instructor will check in on your progress throughout the course.

If you’re going to be away, make sure to let your instructor know as soon as possible. In some cases, you might be asked to provide a note or documentation to support your absence.

If you're finding things challenging; you’re not alone. You may be asked to connect with your school and your instructor so we can work together to support you.

Co-requisite courses

Some Dual Credit programs include co-requisite courses, which are courses you need to take at the same time as your Dual Credit course.

If you don’t finish a required co-requisite, you won’t receive your NorQuest credential until it’s completed.

Thinking about what’s next?

Your Dual Credit experience is a great first step, and we can help you build on it.

If you're finishing high school and want to explore NorQuest programs or other post-secondary options, we’re here to support you.
