About
The Guide is a national, online resource for Canadian registrarial and pathway practitioners and policy developers. It contains standards, definitions, and additional resources for close to 500 transcript and transfer credit terms in an online, searchable format. This resource is intended to encourage best practice and enhance student mobility and data portability.
Principles supporting the Guide are available online.
The Guide results from a multi-year research and consultation exercise involvingCanadian post-secondary institutions and allied organizations including the councils on articulation/admissions and transfer and the registrarial regional associations from across the country. More information about the research project is available online.
If you have a question about the Guide or would like to suggest a standard or term be refined or added, complete the Guide feedback form available online.
