Transfer Project Information

Transfer projects of different types have been undertaken by numerous articulation committees, with the assistance of project funding from BCCAT. There are two main categories of transfer projects: Transfer Innovations Projects and Transfer and Articulation Projects. Applications for project funding under either category are submitted to the Transfer and Articulation Committee for consideration and approval. Articulation Committees considering making an application for transfer project funding are advised to review the following information thoroughly.

Transfer Innovations Projects - Application Package

BCCAT wishes to encourage the development of flexible and innovative transfer arrangements among BC post-secondary institutions and in doing so, BCCAT aims to minimize inequities and difficulties faced by students and institutions. Since transfer students can never be sure at which institution they will be accepted, their transfer program should be flexible enough to enable them to transfer into their intended program with reasonable prospects of academic success.

The Transfer & Articulation Committee (TAC) invites articulation committees, or related discipline-based groups, to submit proposals for Transfer Innovations project funding for projects that have as their central objective, a significant improvement in transfer for students. Project outcomes should provide clear, uncomplicated and flexible additions to course-by-course transfer models. Examples include Flexible Pre-Majors and Block Transfer Agreements. These projects are described in the How to Articulate Handbook.

Transfer & Articulation Projects - Application Package

The Transfer and Articulation fund has been established to provide small grants (up to $5000 maximum) to articulation committees or other groups to fund specific projects which are related to transfer and articulation. The project must be clearly related to transfer and articulation, or to the work of articulation committees. A Transfer & Articulation project should fall outside the scope of the criteria for Transfer Innovations Projects. This project funding is not intended as an avenue for the funding of curriculum development.
