Are you in high school?
Are you interested taking a first-year course at VIU?
Or starting a Trade?
In partnership with your School District, our Dual Credit program can give you the chance to be VIU student while still in high school.
- Take a university course - get dual credits!
- Get your certification in a Trades Foundation/Level 1 program or a Health and Human Services certificate program - get dual credits!
What does dual credit mean? It means credits you earn in a VIU course go directly toward your high school and VIU transcripts.
Learn more about Courses and Programs.

- Contact your Career Centre Coordinator (CTC) and find out if they will pay for your course or program in 2023-24.
