About ONCAT

The Ontario Council on Articulation and Transfer (ONCAT) drives innovation to help postsecondary learners get where they want to go, no matter where they begin. We do this as a vital partner and convener of the postsecondary education and training sectors, maximizing opportunities for institutional collaboration to create academic pathways, facilitating recognition of prior learning, and supporting learner transitions and entry into the labour market. To achieve this mandate, ONCAT conducts original research programs that investigate learner mobility, student transfer experiences, academic achievement, equitable access, labour market outcomes, and related topics. In addition, ONCAT administers funding to external research projects that generate new insights about issues in postsecondary education. As a guiding principle, ONCAT pursues research that can inform and inspire student-centric improvements to policies, practices, and pathways at publicly assisted colleges, universities, and Indigenous Institutes in Ontario.
