1.6.1 Cooperative Education
• “The scheduling conflicts that may arise if a
student is taking a college-delivered dual credit
course may be alleviated if the student is also
taking one or more credits through cooperative
education. The student may take the college
course when it is available and, with the
approval of the cooperative education teacher
and the workplace supervisor, arrange to
complete the in-school class and work
placement hours required for the cooperative
education credits at alternative times.” (p.9)
1.7 Role of the DC teacher
• Minor additional clarifications are provided,
e.g., “Whether students are participating in
college-delivered dual credit courses or
team-taught courses, secondary school
staffing numbers are determined in the
same way – through the ratio in the
funding formula.” (p.9)

2.1.3 Dual credit based on teamteaching of matched college and
secondary curriculum
• Additional clarification on Program Delivery
Approaches
– Courses that are paired must have significant
overlap. A college professor or instructor delivers the
portion of the course from the college curriculum, and
a secondary school teacher delivers the portion
contained only in the Ontario curriculum course. The
student’s achievement of the content contained in the
college course is evaluated by the college professor
or instructor according to the standards of the college,
and his or her achievement of the content contained
in the secondary course is evaluated separately by
the secondary school teacher. (p. 10)
How are team-taught college course
dual credits recorded in the secondary
school’s Student Management System?
1. secondary school course
code is used (TTJ4C)
2. dual credit course code is
used (TAF4T)
3. both course codes are
used; a separate mark
for each
4. both course codes are
used; one averaged mark

secondary school curriculum course codes will be

management system. On the OST, the words dual
credit will appear in parentheses following the course

will be noted in a record issued to the student by
the college. (p.12)
