Student Mobility in Ontario: A Framework and Decision-Making Tool for Building Better Pathways

Abstract

This document presents principles and a decision-making framework for developing new pathways and partnerships in Ontario’s post-secondary education system (PSE). The principles and framework contribute to the Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities’ goals to support lifelong learning, and to increase and broaden access to postsecondary education. The principles and framework build on: • The Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities’ Policy Statement for Ontario’s Credit Transfer System 2011 • ONCAT’s ‘Proposed Principles for Credit Transfer Policies and Procedures’ The document first outlines the goals and purposes of qualifications and pathways in supporting lifelong learning policies, then it presents principles that guide transfer of students and transfer of credit, before presenting a framework for decision making.
