Summary

Despite the importance of transfer credit to learner mobility, we have little insight into how students develop their expectations about their transfer credits, or how those expectations are fulfilled once they begin their studies. In extensive one-on-one interviews, ONCAT’s Senior Researcher, Dr. Emerson LaCroix, learned from students themselves about their experiences navigating transfer in Ontario institutions. Amplifying student voices and integrating them with current research on mobility and transfer in Ontario, Emerson will unpack key findings and share implications for the sector. 

What you will learn from this presentation: 

  • How students plan their studies with transfer credits in mind   
  • What supports transfer students make use of to secure transfer credits  
  • Common hurdles experienced by transfer students  
  • Student-centred considerations for improving the transfer credit process
