Alberta Council on Admissions and Transfer. Twenty-Eighth Annual Report, 1 April 2002-31 March 2003.
Alberta Council on Admissions and Transfer, Edmonton.
The Alberta Council on Admissions and Transfer, Alberta, Canada, serves as the body through which Albertas postsecondary institutions work in a cooperative manner to ensure effective transferability. Basic to the work of the Council is the principle that a student should not have to repeat previous learning experiences in which competence has been demonstrated, nor be granted more transfer credit than previous learning would warrant. While actively involved with transfer credit issues, the 15-member Council is also interested in admission policies from a systemwide perspective. This annual report outlines the Council's mandate, mission, and goals, and describes some of the initiatives undertaken or completed since the last annual report. In May 2002 the Council published the 27th annual edition of the "Alberta Transfer Guide," a description that reflected 27,504 transfer agreements and 36 institutions in Alberta, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. The transfer guide has been made available online, and the network of institutional representatives ("Contact Persons") also is described online. Work has begun on a common grading scale for Alberta institutions of higher education, communication links have been maintained with student organizations. The Council has continued its emphasis on admissions to enable students to make smooth transitions from secondary education. Other information dissemination and online efforts are described, and work toward the Business Plan goals and objectives is outlined. Addenda include: (1) a list of Council members; (2) terms of reference; (3) principles, policies, and procedures; (4) the Alberta transfer model; and (5) a list of Council publications. (SLD)
