BC Council on Admissions & Transfer
The BC Council on Admissions & Transfer (BCCAT) oversees the BC Transfer System, enabling important links between the BC post-secondary institutions, the education ministries, and the public and private education sectors.
BCCAT facilitates admission, articulation, and transfer arrangements among BC post-secondary institutions for the benefit of students. This involves:
a) providing coordination and support for transfer and articulation in the BC system,
b) promoting student mobility through system-wide collaboration and extensive research on student movement and credit transfer, and
c) developing and managing online resources (BCTransferGuide.ca and EducationPlanner.ca) to assist students in their education planning.
A chart highlighting the Council’s major, ongoing activities is available here.
Members of the Council are appointed by the Minister and are selected from across the BC post-secondary system to serve the overall best interests of the sysem. [Information regarding the Council, including a list of current members is available here.]
The Council guides the work of five standing committees, each devoted to different aspects of the Council’s mandate. The work of the Council and committees is coordinated by a small team of staff members.
BCCAT is a non-profit, public agency that is funded by the provincial government and operates by promoting collaboration among BC post-secondary institutions.
