Post-Secondary Pathways

There are many pathways to post-secondary studies. Below are some of the pathways available at the Pembroke Campus.

Dual Credit

An opportunity for Grade 11 or Grade 12 high school students to:

  • experience the college environment
  • earn Algonquin College credit(s) AND credit towards the Ontario Secondary School Diploma
  • gain a head start on career training
  • discover vocational pathways

The Dual Credit program is an exciting opportunity to attend college while in high school and earn credits at both institutions. You will be completing a real College course that counts towards a certificate, diploma or degree program. Since you are completing this college course, you will be registered at Algonquin College, given a student number and have access to all the College technologies, including email and Brightspace.

Because funding is provided through the School|College|Work Initiative, there is little or no cost to the student.

This program exists to help you discover which educational or career pathway is right for you and to help you get closer to your goal of graduating from high school.

Articulation Agreements or Degree Pathways

Agreements between Algonquin College and other post-secondary institutions that facilitate recognition of prior post-secondary study and transfer credit or admission to upper levels of study. As a result, it may take you less time to complete another credential or result in a reduced course load. This means that you may enter the job market sooner and potentially save time and money.

Unless otherwise stipulated, you are subject to the admission requirements of the partnering institution. Please note that every effort is made to reflect current pathway information; however, it may be subject to change. Learn more by visiting our Articulation Agreement webpage.
