HENRY DECOCK PCCAT Chair

As Chair of PCCAT, it is my great pleasure to welcome

you to the 2019 PCCAT annual conference in Regina,

Saskatchewan. Our gathering this year falls on the

heels of the Western Association of Registrars of the Universities and

Colleges of Canada (WARRUCC) as we leverage their organization to build

the collective atmosphere for blue-sky discussions about transfer. In a

continuation of last year’s very successful strategic planning sessions, the

Board will be seeking your engagement again as we evolve into a respon-

sive organization serving the needs of our members and supporting

student movement within and among provinces and territories in Cana-

da. The importance and prominence of student mobility grows unabat-

ed, making our collective work, institutionally, provincially and nationally,

critical in the success of our students and graduates. Our work is now

growing into global collaboration with PCCAT becoming a proud signato-

ry to the Groningen Declaration Network. The keynote speaker and sub-

sequent discussion ventures into this terrain helping us traverse the

international landscape. Hope you enjoy the program and please provide

your valuable insights at our annual general membership meeting as

PCCAT grows into a more dynamic national voice for student mobility.

En tant que président du CPCAT, c’est mon grand plaisir de vous accueil-

lir au congrès annuel du CPCAT 2019 à Regina, en Saskatchewan. Notre

rassemblement de cette année s’inscrit dans la foulée de l’Association

Western des registraires des universités et des collèges du Canada

(WARRUCC) dont nous tirons parti de leur organisation pour créer l’at-

mosphère collective pour des discussions de ciel-bleu sur le transfert.

Dans le prolongement des séances de planification stratégique de grand

succès l’an dernier, le Conseil cherchera votre engagement encore une

fois, puisque nous évoluons vers une organisation attentive aux besoins

de nos membres et de soutenir le mouvement étudiant au sein des, et

entre les, provinces et territoires du Canada. L’importance et la place de

premier plan de la mobilité étudiante pousse sans relâche, rendant

notre travail collectif, sur le plan institutionnel, provinciale et nationale,

essentiel à la réussite de nos étudiants et diplômés. Notre travail croît en

collaboration globale, avec le CPCAT devenant un fier signataire du ré-

seautage de la déclaration Groningen. Le conférencier principal et des

discussions subséquences aventurent dans ce type de terrain pour nous

aider à traverser le panorama international. J’espère que vous appréciez

le programme et s’il vous plaît nous faire part de votre précieuse clair-

voyance à notre Assemblée générale annuelle des membres, puisque

CPCAT prend son élan à titre d’une voix nationale plus dynamique pour

la mobilité des étudiants.

Emerging Models of Interinstitutional Collaboration: A case

study of the York-Seneca Partnership (B2)

QU'APPELLE

Research on Canadian colleges and universities identified two major

forms of inter-institutional academic collaboration, namely the College-

University Transfer Model and the Collaborative Model (Kirby 2008).

Intra/ inter-institutional arrangements as defined by the Council of

Transfer pathways functionality metrics are key for learners, post-

secondary institutions, and transfer-related agencies. BCCAT has

undertaken three major recurrent reports on transfer and student

mobility in BC. In addition to sharing findings from the most recent

studies, this session will focus on how the needs of the various

audiences have evolved, and how changes in the external environment

have led to new data sources and methodologies for measuring

transfer system effectiveness in BC.

Mobility patterns of Seneca's business students at York:

Student profile and academic success (C1)

MOOSE JAW

Building on the almost 40 year partnership between Seneca College

and York University, this study tracks the mobility patterns of Seneca

business students who moved between Seneca and York, in either

direction, during the years 2012 to 2017. It seeks a better

understanding of the transfer student profile and factors influencing

successful transfer. Ultimately the findings can support the creation

and enhancement of transfer agreements as well as supporting

students making the transition.

Information (D3)

PRINCE ALBERT

In 2018/19, BCCAT commissioned an external review of the BC

Transfer Guide, which included an environmental scan of transfer sites

across N. America, surveys & focus groups to assess how transfer info

is communicated & understood. This session focuses on these results,

next steps, how we can use site analytics, data, & using social media to

facilitate transfer. Survey says stuff, site analytics say even more, &

communication strategies allow us to say it to our students, domestic

THE SECRET TRANSFER GUIDE: HOW BCCAT AND UBC

COLLABORATED TO REVEAL HIDDEN PATHWAYS BEYOND BC

Mike Winsemann & Debbie Lin

While many provinces have developed provincial transfer guides, the

data that’s publicly available for individual provinces is often limited in

comparison to the data for transfers from out-of-province or outside

Canada that is held within internal transfer credit tables at an

institution. This data often remains hidden from the public, and

transfer students only learn about their transfer credit assignments

after admission. Academic advisors at colleges have limited resources

to advise transfer students from out-of-province or abroad for course

planning.

In 2018/19, the BC Council on Admissions & Transfer (BCCAT)

partnered with the University of British Columbia (UBC ) in a pilot to

import UBC’s internal transfer credit tables, and adopt BCCAT’s

Transfer Credit System (TCS) as the workflow for all articulation

activities at UBC’s Okanagan and Vancouver campuses, including inter-

provincial and international equivalencies. The result saw the import

and publication of over 50,000 equivalencies from over 600 institutions

making the data publicly available for the first time on UBC’s websites

for both campuses. The data from UBC’s transfer credit tables can

now be leveraged by transfer students and other members of BC’s

transfer system. This pilot is now serving as a model for an ambitious

expansion of the BC transfer system.

This presentation will provide the story on this pilot project from the

perspectives of BCCAT and UBC, including the challenges, processes,

lessons learned, and the next steps moving forward on this exciting

initiative.

hance student mobility.

PCCAT will use various technologies and social media to enable the sharing of information and best practices

among its members, and the general public.

III. Ensure stakeholders have access to transfer and student mobility related information.

PCCAT will establish a structured approach to communicating with its stakeholders to ensure access to information

where and when it is needed.
