Edmonton High School Students Can Get Dual Credits for University Courses in Semester 2 – Here’s How

Earn high school credits and college/university credits at the same time!

Evening Dual Credit Courses (Semester 2)

• Open to all EPSB students and run in semester 2 (typically after winter break into spring)
