11. Consistency of Process

Articulation agreements must be honoured consistently for all programs. There are examples where this is not happening within the BC system.

e.g. At one institution every admitted student is assessed for transfer credit, except in one degree program where the faculty takes some time (often a semester or two) assessing a student's background before agreeing to any transfer credit at all.

This situation creates inequity. Applicants and students need to understand at the time of admission what they must do to complete the program. If an institution has concluded an articulation agreement that agreement must be consistently honoured or the institution must clearly state that transfer credit does not apply in specified faculties or programs.

Articulation agreements must be honoured consistently for all programs.

BEST PRACTICES - RECEIVING INSTITUTION establishes and honours articulation agreements for all faculties and programs or clearly and publicly identifies exceptions
