ONCAT is now accepting nominations for our second Transfer Awards of Excellence program. Now in its second year, the Awards were created to celebrate the work being done on development, innovation, and student support in the field of student mobility and credit transfer across Ontario. The award(s) recognize the efforts of those individuals and groups working in colleges, universities and Indigenous Institutes who go above and beyond the requirements of their jobs to promote and support student mobility.
This is your chance to recognize the achievements of one of your colleagues and/or partners who has made a significant impact or contribution on Ontario's transfer community. Awards will be judged by a committee that will include Northern and Francophone representation.
