Current Dual Credit Students

When you become a Seneca student, you need to activate your Seneca account to access Seneca email and Blackboard. You can do this through our online system, Learn@Seneca.

To activate your account, visit MyID Self Service:  

1. Enter your username and temporary password and select “login”.
2. Select “yes” to accept Seneca’s terms and conditions.
3. To change your password, enter your temporary password in the “Current Password” field. Create a new password next and confirm it. Your password needs letters (uppercase and lowercase), digits and special characters. For example, combine your favourite number with your initials and an exclamation point.
4. Be sure to remember your Seneca username and password. You will need to use them every time to log in to your Learn@Seneca account (Blackboard and email).

If you have problems logging in to Learn@Seneca or forget your password, visit MyID Self Service or call 416.764.9900.

Academic accommodations for Dual Credit students are provided on a temporary basis for the duration of your course. 

Your Seneca counsellor may provide you with temporary accommodations such as extended time on tests and exams.

If you require more than extended time, a psychoeducational assessment or other relevant documentation from an appropriate Regulated Health Provider must be provided. In this case, temporary academic accommodation will be issued and additional services may be provided as required. 

• To book your appointment as early as possible, call Counselling & Accessible Learning Services at the campus where you are taking your Dual Credit course. You will need your student number to book your appointment.
• Share your IEP and/or psychoeducational assessment with the counsellor at Seneca.
• You will be interacting with counsellors and staff. Initially you may do so with the support of your parents/guardians. Seneca follows an adult learning model and will be speaking directly with you on matters related to your performance in the course and academic accommodations. Your support person may assist you in understanding the academic accommodations process through a signed consent where you authorize communication between staff and counsellors. Your Seneca counsellor will assist you in completing the appropriate form.
• After you meet with a counsellor at Seneca, based on your IEP/psychoeducational assessment, eligible students will have an academic accommodation letter. This letter will be delivered through a secure electronic system directly to our faculty, the Dual Credit program designate and the relevant chair of your program.
• You are encouraged to provide your instructor(s) with any additional information you feel would be helpful in implementing academic accommodations.
• Notify your Seneca counsellor and/or Dual Credit program designate should you experience difficulties with your academic accommodation letter.
