Term Description
Affiliation Agreement An arrangement with another institution or body that involves the awarding of a credential, the establishment of equivalency between the courses or programs between VCC and another institutions, the movement of students between institutions, or applied research projects at an institutional level. Common examples include:
Applied Research Project A project established by VCC as an institution in partnership with other institutions where funding or resources are provided to the College, and involves the research activities of employees or students.
Articulation Agreements that provide for inter-institutional transfer of credit for courses or programs. These formal agreements set out the terms under which credits or credentials awarded by one institution will be given transfer status by the other institutions. Normally the submission requirements will resemble those within the BC Council of Admissions and Transfer (BCCAT) guide.
Block Transfer The process whereby a block of credits is granted to students who have successfully completed a certificate, diploma, or cluster of courses that is recognized as having an academic wholeness or integrity, and that can be related meaningfully to a credential at another institution.
Consortium Model An agreement in which several institutions collaborate on the development of a generic curriculum but independently offer parts of or the entire program at their institution or jointly administer a program that is hosted at one or more institution.
Joint Credential The process whereby two or more independent institutions offer designated portions of a jointly developed/agreed to curriculum that result in a credential where both institutions are cited as the credential granter.
Memorandum of Understanding An agreement between two or more parties outlined in a formal document. It is not legally binding but signals the willingness of the parties to move forward with a contract.
