In January 2021, the Ontario Council on Articulation and Transfer (ONCAT) convened six faculty members to advise on the role of faculty in Ontario’s transfer system and to develop a unified resource on credit assessment. The six representatives included members of universities, indigenous institutions, and colleges, including Shawn Richards, Program Coordinator in the Longo Faculty of Business at Humber.
This resource provides a starting point for faculty members, department chairs, and others who wish to ensure that their decision-making process is fair, consistent, and transparent. It provides common elements to consider that can be adapted to fit the needs of a particular department or discipline. Humber will be utilizing this guide to inform the creation of our own Transfer Credit guide for faculty and staff. Together, we will help improve the transfer experience for all!
Longo Faculty of Business is proud of Shawn's involvement in this project, as well as Humber's role in this joint venture to enhance pathways and reduce barriers for students looking to transfer.
