Abstract	There has been considerable interest in British Columbia in improving secondary to post-secondary transitions, and the provincial government and secondary and post-secondary institutions have adopted a number of strategies intended to aid in successful student transition from one system to the other. This paper looks specifically at the policy and practice of dual credit, i.e., granting credit at both secondary school and post-secondary institutions for completion of a single course. This review has been occasioned by the ongoing interest of institutions and policy makers in designing usable and appropriate paths for successful student transition to post-secondary education and credential completion and in the prospective revisions to the British Columbia secondary Graduation Program. The report surveys the academic literature on dual credit, examines current practices in North America by type, benefit, and issues, and offers some directions to consider. The following are appended: (1) Electronic Survey Questions; (2) List of Agencies and Institutions Contacted and Surveyed; (3) Student Completion of ACE-IT Program: 2013-2014 Academic Year; and (4) Summary of 2013/14 ACE IT Completion Reports.
