Fast Forward Dual Credit program

Fast Forward university courses and culture… … supported success.

Fast Forward Louis Riel high school students have a unique opportunity to earn university or college credits in partnership with U. of W., U. of M. , or U. St. B.

Fast Forward courses Follow Canadian University or College Curriculum. Are taught by LRSD Teachers as well as University or College Accredited Professors or Instructors. Provide a first year university experience with little-to-no cost to the student.

Considering Fast Forward? Students can begin in 2nd semester of grade 11

Fast Forward Students Must have completed 22 high school credits. Must have maintained a 70% average grade. May require pre-requisite or the approval of the Fast Forward Coordinator.

What are the costs? Courses are free, and are considered dual credits, counting towards high school graduation AND university or college credit. This saves you about $500 per course!

CAN YOU DROP THE COURSE? YES. IF A STUDENT DECIDES TO WITHDRAW BEFORE THE EXAM, UNIVERSITY OR COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS WILL NOT BE AFFECTED.

WHICH COURSES WILL BE OFFERED IN THE FUTURE? STUDENT NEEDS AND INTERESTS DETERMINE THE CHOICE OF COURSES OFFERED, AS DOES UNIVERSITY INSTRUCTOR AVAILABILITY.

What a great idea! This Fast Forward is the result of collaboration between the L.R.S.D. Trustees, the Superintendent’s Office and the Manitoba Department of Education.
