A plethora of micro-credentialing research and pilots are underway across Canada and around the world led by academic researchers, government, and industry. The intensity is creating a perfect storm of opportunity that is reframing assessment practices. Exploring their utility for admission and transfer into higher education, the focus of this study, represents a gap in the research. Four objectives defined the scope of this research: (1) identifying and reviewing current and emerging practices in developing and accepting micro-credentials in admissions and transfer in British Columbia and elsewhere; (2) assessing institutional perspectives on motivations, issues, and opportunities for developing and using micro-credentials for admissions and transfer at post-secondary institutions in BC, Canada and beyond; (3) exploring employers'/ human resources staff perspectives on micro-credentials in the labour market, to the extent information was available and accessible; and (4) identifying areas for future research and, if appropriate, the development of practices. The research approach included conducting eight interviews with higher education micro-credentialing experts, including those situated within Canadian post-secondary institutions; a national, bilingual survey that had a 90% response rate with 90 participants; and an environmental scan of the literature and web information for micro-credentials. The report provides insights into current micro-credentialing practices, motivations, and perspectives at Canadian higher education institutions and beyond.
