TRU Start allows high school students to take university-level courses while earning both high school and post-secondary credits at the same time. This program provides a head start on university education, offering students the chance to experience university-level academics and earn credits that count toward both their high school diploma and future degree, or lead to a complete credential before high school graduation.
