Innovative Curriculum Delivery 

ONCAT is seeking proposals for innovative projects that develop and implement strategies to enhance student mobility, expand opportunities for students to transfer, and increase postsecondary collaboration in order to contribute to the ongoing development of a more seamless PSE system in Ontario. The focus is on supporting the creation of new forms of innovative curriculum delivery that expand transfer opportunities for students through academic collaboration among institutions.


Pathway Development

ONCAT is seeking proposals for innovative pathway development projects that develop and implement strategies to enhance student mobility, expand opportunities for students to transfer, and increase postsecondary collaboration in order to contribute to the ongoing development of a more seamless PSE system in Ontario. Preference will be given to projects that:

1)    Create new pathways in subject areas where there is a high volume of students but a low volume of pathways;
2)   Expand existing pathways, especially to enhance opportunities for transfer within a particular region or to refine previous curriculum analyses so that students receive additional credit;
3)    Develop new pathways by conducting and applying a learning outcomes analysis;
4)    Create new pathways for Indigenous students, in particular among colleges, universities, and Aboriginal Institutes; or
5)    Create new pathways among French-language programs.


Research

ONCAT is seeking proposals for research projects that will advance knowledge and understanding of the current state of student mobility and credit transfer in the province of Ontario. Preference will be given to projects that:

1)    Provide insight into institutional processes required to support student mobility;
2)    Illustrate and analyze promising practices in facilitating transfer and/or supporting transfer student success;
