Specifically, the Council:
(a) encourages institutions to develop policies and practices regarding the transferability of post-secondary credit courses so that credit granted at one institution can be applied toward credentials at other institutions; and
(b) examines issues pertaining to capacity, demand, and student mobility, and recommends policies and practices related to the admission process for direct entry and transfer students.
The Council's collaborative approach to the planning and administration of policies, practices and projects helps to ensure an accessible and responsive system.
The Council is funded annually by the Ministry responsible for post-secondary institutions. Its members, from the education system, are appointed by the Minister. They strive to achieve the mandate of the Council by serving the overall best interests of the system and do not formally represent any specific institution or constituency with which they are affiliated.
