Testimonials

I had a wonderful experience in my Dual Credit course. During my time, I met many new people that soon became my friends. Every week I was excited to go to Seneca to see my friends and learn about a class not offered at my high school. This course helped me decide on my postsecondary pathway into business marketing.

Overall, I highly advocate for taking a Dual Credit course because of the unique experiences you gain from studying on a college campus.

The staff and professors are very supportive. It feels great to know that if I have any questions about anything for my course, I can talk to the Seneca support team.

I learned that no matter how hard the course is you’re taking, as long as you’re passionate about it, then you can do well and achieve it. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience here at Seneca. I am looking forward to going to college at your school and also learning a lot more about being a flight attendant.

This course opened new horizons of learning for me, enriching my aptitude of logical reasoning and thinking abilities besides helping me master the art of CNC programming. Of course, I cherish the beautiful lecture environment and the congenial friendly staff teachers. Overall it was a win-win for me to have opted for this excellent analytical course.

I've taken three Dual Credits at Seneca throughout my Grade 11-12 year of high school and It has been an amazing experience... The classes are great and there is a variety of courses to choose from. At first, I was unsure about the program as I had never taken part of the Dual Credit Program at Seneca but once I did, I always wanted to keep coming back. It's fun and gives you the chance to interact and meet new people and friends. I created long-lasting friendships with several of my peers in my Seneca Dual Credit Program... I got to experience what it was like to be in postsecondary.

My Dual Credit experience here was much enjoyed and I recommend joining especially at Seneca!

I am so fortunate to have taken the Dual Credit program while I was in high school because not only did I experience what a college course is like, I became reassured in my postsecondary pathways and decisions. Before taking the Dual Credit Program, I was indecisive over my postsecondary school plans, but while taking the course, it opened my eyes to the things I am most passionate about and want to pursue in the future. The professors were very enthusiastic and helped us every step of the way...

I would recommend the Dual Credit Program to anyone who is still unsure of their postsecondary plans because the experience will help you decide where to take the next step.

I learned so much and have access to so much information and experience for no cost whatsoever. These opportunities are incredible and should be advertised more in schools!

It was an amazing class. You get to see how the college environment is, get to learn about something you may want to study, and you can use the credit later on when you get into college! To my professor: I want to thank you for taking the time to teach each one of us, making us laugh through our screens, answering each question or concern we may have, and making things fun for all of us.

During my Dual Credit at Seneca, I was able to improve my interacting and interpersonal skills. I was able to step outside of my shell and make new friends.

My Dual Credit experience was a transformational one. Although I had an idea of what I wanted to do — become a psychotherapist —I also desired to know what awaited me beyond the confines of high school. That was a desire that was both equally as liberating as it was terrifying to think about. However, when I took the opportunity and was actually in the course in 2019, Introduction to Psychology, it only reaffirmed my career.

My teacher was one of the most amazing people I’ve met for the simple fact that he was simply himself and honestly enjoyed his time teaching us. He cared about our success, which was evident by the variety of enthralling assignments we did, and the compelling readings we were assigned pertaining to human thought patterns and behaviour. All in all, it was simply an experience that has changed my life for the better.

I love it! The professor is amazing. My Dual Credit course experience is really valuable for me. I am happy that I can find out a lot of information about the college, its resources etc., before I actually start learning as a college student. Thank you!

It was a very friendly class and everyone was so welcoming. It was also a great opportunity to understand what postsecondary classes look like. Thank you for an amazing semester! I was worried about enrolling into a college credit but the professor made this experience unforgettable and joyful.

The Dual Credit course I took changed my outlook for serving others and the different concepts and skills involved in cooking. Throughout the course of the program, in the different experiences, situations and activities I encountered, I had never gone through an experience that was so influential...

The attitude, perseverance and commitment promoted by my professor was amazing. He was always there to guide our thoughts to be intentional in what we said and offer a word of encouragement whenever needed.

My Dual Credit took place at Seneca in 2019 for social service work. I loved my course because my professor was amazing. I was able to meet so many people, experience the college lifestyle and learn so much. I really enjoyed my course because it offered such a valuable experience and helped show me all the education and jobs options that could be pursued.

This was a great first experience for me taking a college class and I really loved all that was taught to me and shared with us. I'm also thankful for all the feedback given to me, it really helped me evolve in my creative skills and work ethic.

The Dual Credit program has opened my mind to a new way of learning (even during pandemic times). I really enjoyed the class and loved making new friends.

At first, I was nervous to be in a postsecondary environment in 11th grade. But my Dual Credit leader helped make my experience a very enjoyable one. I always felt comfortable asking questions and my professor was very helpful whenever I had questions. The learning centre on campus with the library and computer area were helpful for when I needed to work on an assignment after class.

The Dual Credit scholarship also became very important to my postsecondary decision. I was very set on going to a university after high school until I realized that Seneca has all of the resources a university does and more.

The Dual Credit helped me realize how college will be and the types of experiences I may have along the way.

Dual Credit Course: Applied Psychology of Learning and Careers (Adult Dual Credit) – Winter 2022

Seneca Program: Library & Information Technician

“I took the class because it happened to be a subject that I was interested in.  While listening to the lecture every week, I learned so many new things.  When I attended this program, the professor gave us interesting lectures every week, always recorded his lectures and put them on the blackboard for the students who needed to listen and study them again.  It was really helpful for me too because sometimes I didn’t understand clearly the first time.  So I often watched the lectures multiple times. At the end of the Applied Psychology of Learning & Careers course, I gained confidence and overcame my fear of college classes.  So I enrolled in a full-time Library & Information Technician program at Seneca.”

“My professor was very open to answering every student’s questions, and I felt more included with every class I joined.

The Foundations of Psychology program helped me gain confidence to pursue a postsecondary education through my interactions with the college curriculum, and because of the kindness and quality teaching from Dr.Güzel I felt a deep desire to go to college, a desire that I didn’t have before taking the Dual Credit course. Upon completing the psychology course, I had discovered that I wanted to work in neuroscience, to discover the secrets and “hardwired psychology” of our brains. So I decided to stick with Seneca for that journey as well!”

Dual Credit Course: Anatomy & Physiology for the Practical Nurse – Winter 2020

Seneca Program: Practical Nursing

“The Dual Credit program was filled with so many courses! There were so many options to choose from, but I decided on anatomy and physiology as it was a medical-related course. My professor made learning fun, easy and interactive. Taking the anatomy and physiology course, I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in this field. I found so much joy, passion and motivation towards it.

Seneca made a significant impact on my career choice and assisted me in building a passion for nursing! If it wasn't for the Dual Credit program, I believe I wouldn't have chosen nursing.”

I really do thank my Dual Credit experience for helping me figure out what I really wanted to be.”

Dual Credit Course: Interpersonal Communications – Winter 2019

Seneca Program: Social Service Worker

“I visited my guidance counsellor and they offered a Dual Credit course that could not only give me a high school credit that I needed, but a college one too.

It felt nice to go to a new environment instead of the high school I was so used to going to for four years. The people at Seneca were very thorough with what would be expected in our term and were very nice. They also gave us free textbooks and notebooks to use for our class. Fast forward to now, I decided to enrol in the Social Service Worker program at Seneca@York.”

Of course, I could learn theories and knowledge, but the core part of taking this class was finding myself and figuring out how I can be successful both at school and work through practical strategies.”
