Advance Academic Standing Policy
Purpose
Canadian All Care College (CACC) is committed to creating accessible learning pathways for current and future students. The purpose of the Transfer Credit Policy and related Procedure to Support the Transfer Credit Policy is to establish criteria for recognizing and awarding credit for prior learning through courses and programs at postsecondary institutions.
Definitions
Transfer Credit: the recognition of previous academic work completed at the College and/or other Recognized Institutions.
Advanced Standing/Block Transfer: The granting of a block of credit for the completion of a group of courses typically based on the completion of an approved credential or full program, from CACC or another institution.
Articulation: The process of assessing programs or courses offered at other institutions to determine whether to grant credit towards the earning of a CACC post-secondary credential. Articulation is therefore the process, while Block Transfer Credit or Transfer Credit is the result.
Articulation Agreement: A formally recognized agreement between the College and a sending institution that specifies the number of Transfer Credits awarded towards the earning of a CACC post-secondary credential.
Course Equivalency: The granting of course credit for the successful completion of an equivalent course at CACC.
Course Exemption: The granting of course credit for the recognition of knowledge, skills, or abilities that are demonstrated and/ or assessed via assessment measures that are administered by or approved by the College (e.g. Admission or Placement Testing, etc.)
Grouped Credit: The credit awarded when two or more courses must be combined to obtain Transfer Credit.
Recognized Institutions: The College considers the following as “recognized” for evaluating Transfer Credit:
- Canadian public post-secondary institutions
- Universities in Canada
- Private Career Colleges in Canada
- International institutions recognized in their country, as determined by CACC through the Ministries of Education of that country
- The Office of the Vice President, Academic, may approve credits obtained from any institution or organization that does not meet the above criteria upon consultation with the Director, Operations and at the request of the appropriate faculty member.
Application/ Scope
All full-time CACC applicants and students registered in post-secondary studies, including CACC Certificates and College Diplomas.
Policy Statements
This Policy is aligned with the Ministry of Colleges and Universities’ (MCU) student mobility strategic plan (2018), which supports a transparent and consistent Transfer Credit framework that will ensure student mobility success.
The Policy also reflects the College’s strategic goals of supporting student mobility through the development of partnerships for students to, through and beyond the College.
- In all Transfer Credit arrangements, the academic integrity of CACc’s courses and programs must be protected and preserved.
- The primary purpose of recognizing previous post-secondary learning is to increase student access to post-secondary education at the College by facilitating mobility between other Institutions and the College, as well as between different CACC programs
- Whenever possible, the College maximizes a student’s ability to satisfy program requirements through Transfer Credit.
- Courses completed at post-secondary institutions or agencies that are deemed equivalent to CACCcourses are considered for Transfer Credit.
- Graduates from the same MCU-approved programs at Ontario Colleges are awarded equal
- Block Transfer Credit/Advanced Standing in their program at the College.
- All requests for Transfer Credit and Block Transfer Credit learning require the submission of official documentation.
- Students may be exempt from having to complete certain courses based on Course Exemption.
- The College considers Grouped Credit to establish equivalency of a single course.
