SWAC/Dual Credit

School College Work Initiative (SCWI)

SCWI is a co-operative effort between the Council of Ontario Directors of Education (CODE) and the Committee of College Presidents (COP) and is jointly supported by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Colleges and Universities and the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development (MLTSD).

The goal of the program is to assist in creating a seamless transition for students from secondary school to college.

What are dual credit programs?

  • Dual credit courses count twice: once towards an OSSD and once towards postsecondary certification.
  • There are two models of delivery for dual credits:
    • Team-taught courses are delivered jointly by the college instructor and the secondary teacher. The secondary school and college curricula are followed at the same time. There is no limit on the number or type of secondary credits students may earn through the team-taught model.
    • College-delivered courses are lead by a college instructor and supported by a secondary teacher. The college curriculum is followed. Students may count a maximum of four credits towards their OSSD through this model.

How do dual credit programs benefit students?

  • Help students complete their OSSD and gain greater insight into education and career planning.
  • Increase awareness of various college and apprenticeship pathways.
  • Assist students in transitioning to college or an apprenticeship program.

What is School Within a College (SWAC)?

  • A partnership among Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic District School Board, Grand Erie District School Board, Conestoga College in Brantford, Fanshawe College in Simcoe and Mohawk College in Ohsweken
  • A program designed for students requiring an alternative secondary school environment and wanting a college experience. Students will be enrolled in secondary and college courses.
  • Secondary teachers provide supervision and support for students.
  • Students must take at least one dual credit per semester.

Contact your secondary school Guidance office for course offerings and more information on how to experience one of these exciting programs.
