Finding the Right Students for SCWI
Many teachers question who is the best candidate for programs funded by SCWI, below is a listing of the programs offered at Lambton and the student criteria for each:
Dual Credit ProgramSchool-Within-A-College Program
The Dual Credit program was designed to engage students in post-secondary learning and to assist in the transition from a secondary school setting to a College or University. The students in this program are more successful when they can relate what they are learning in the classroom to their future interests and plans.
To be eligible, students must be:
- Enrolled as full-time students
- Identified by their high school student success team as being post-secondary bound
- Specialist High Skills Majors (SHSM) students are eligible for this program by working with their Student Success team
Please Note: Being scheduled in a co-op program on either the afternoon or the morning of the day they are taking a dual credit class allows students to be more flexible when negotiating mandatory co-op hours with their employers.
Students in this program complete approved dual credits at Lambton College and also receive high school credits for these courses. Unlike the Dual Credit program, students in the School-Within-A-College program are on-site at Lambton two or three times a week and they are completing the majority of their outstanding credits under the supervision of a qualified OSSTF teacher.
To be eligible, students must be:
- Registered at a high school in Ontario
- Eight or fewer credits short of completing an O.S.S.D., depending upon their intake date (September intake students must have 22 credits or more; January intake requires 25 credits or more)
