2020-21 Data on ADCs Participation by Gender: 24% male 10 SCWI / IJECT
SCWI 2022-25 Requirements: Dual Credits For Adult Dual Credit Programs (students 21 years and over): The target audience is adults who need the additional support which is part of the Dual Credit program in order to achieve their goal of earning their Ontario Secondary School Diploma and making a successful transition to postsecondary education (college or apprenticeship). 11 SCWI / IJECT
SCWI 2022-25 Requirements For Adult Dual Credit Programs (students 21 years and over): Students must be within reach of graduation, have the potential to succeed in secondary school courses as well as college or apprenticeship, and be at least 21 years of age (as of December 31st in the year of the Dual Credit). 12 SCWI / IJECT
SCWI 2022-25 Requirements For Adult Dual Credit Programs (students 21 years and over): RPTs will work with board Adult and Continuing Education staff to develop proposals that will meet the needs of their students. Programs are to be on a college campus or community facility and delivered face-to-face or online. 13 SCWI / IJECT
SCWI 2022-25 Requirements For online Dual Credits: Only programs for the primary target group will be considered: Online Dual Credits will only be considered for approval where a Dual Credit program is not available at the secondary school and where distance to the college is significant (more than one-hour travel time each way from the secondary school to the closest college campus). A list of eligible schools by board must be provided in the Operational Details section. Students must be made aware that a Dual Credit delivered online does not provide the same experience as a Dual Credit delivered at day school. Online Dual Credits must take place during the regular school day with the support of a Dual Credit teacher. Students will take online Dual Credits at a secondary school location or on a college campus. 14 SCWI / IJECT

SCWI 2022-25 Requirements: Dual Credits, SWAC School Within a College (SWAC) programs must be delivered on an existing college campus, where other regular college students are in attendance and services are provided. These programs are specifically designed for students in their final semester of secondary school. The expectation is that these students will not return to secondary school following the program as they will have graduated at the end of the SWAC program. Students in SWAC programs must attempt both one or more Ontario curriculum credit(s) and one or more Dual Credit(s) in each semester. This is a full-time program on campus. RPTs should request funding for Wrap Around SWAC as a Miscellaneous request based on the formula provided by SCWI. 16 SCWI / IJECT

Supports for Adult Dual Credit Students 20 SCWI / IJECT
Observations Since the start of restrictions due to COVID-19 most Regional Planning Teams have been able to continue to deliver After School within a College (SWAC) and After Adult Dual Credits (ADC), in whole or part, to students participating in these two types of dual credit programs Generally speaking, College Advisors who submitted reports, indicated a wider range of issues and barriers faced by these students and a greater need for the support provided through the Dual Credit program, specifically by the College Advisors College Advisors also acknowledged that more students were reluctant to apply for post- secondary education for next year. They cited financial reasons, and/or uncertainty regarding college delivery approaches for next year. This is evident in the reduced number of students who have applied during 2020-21. Anecdotal responses in addition to the data summarized on the following slides were captured. Highlights of the anecdotal responses can be found in College Advisor Sharing Session, March 15, 2021 and will be shared at the College Advisor Sharing Session, November 17, 2021 (pptx). 21 SCWI/IJECT - DRAFT

May be under-reported due to COVID-19. As reported by RPTs through After supplementary reporting, March, July and August 2021 23

After ADC/SWAC Participants: Received an Offer to Post Secondary Education, 2020-21 # of Students Who Received an Offer # of After ADC Participants % of Participants Who Received an Offer College University 102 2 68% 67% In some cases, respondents indicated that they either did not know if students had received an offer, or that it was too early for offers. As reported by RPTs through After supplementary reporting March, July and August 2021 25
Participants: Transitions to Post Secondary Education, 2020-21 8 students indicated an interest in pursuing an apprenticeship 4 students applied for a College Certificate or Continuing Education program As reported by RPTs in EDCS and through After supplementary reporting, March, July and August 2021 26 SCWI/IJECT - DRAFT
105 OCAS Vouchers Issued to ADC Students 75 OCAS vouchers were used in 2020-21 by current ADC students 30 OCAS vouchers were used by former ADC students this number is much lower than previous years. This may be a case of fewer students looking to pursue postsecondary education given the uncertainty of delivery models. It may also highlight the importance of face-to-face relationships which in the past have resulted in former students re-connecting with their college advisor when they decide to pursue college or university.

Questions? 30 SCWI / IJECT
Adult SWAC has been so awesome and makes it so easy to be productive. I ve gotten the best marks I ve ever had before and that makes me feel so great about myself! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this and I know this time I will finally get to graduate. So thankful that the school has given the opportunity for people over the age of 21 to have another chance at succeeding. Any other time I have tried to obtain to get my Grade 12; I have failed every time. Being in SWAC I finally have a sense of hope. I look forward to coming to class every day and everyday my confidence is boosted a little bit more and more. At 39, I didn t think I would ever complete my high school. I already had three of my kids complete it before me. I gave up. I tried correspondence numerous times but I gave up on ever completing it. Then I saw this program on FB and I went for it. A few months later and I m a graduate. I have my OSSD and can show my kids that it s never too late to achieve what you want. It s not impossible. I still have three more to graduate after me and I hope they can look to me as an example. adult dual credit student, Barrie, 2019 31 SCWI / IJECT
