PCCAT Forum Access and User Guide
We are excited to have you join us in the PCCAT Forum!
The forum will build new opportunities to connect via a community of practice with PCCAT members and those working in learner mobility across Canada.
There are two different groups within the Forum – one group for PCCAT Membership (for active PCCAT members only as a part of annual membership renewal) and one group for Transfer System Users (for transfer system users in their jurisdictions who directly manage transfer or pathways data or who take part in articulation).
User access to each of these groups will be provided to participants via email invitation from PCCAT. Access invitations will be confirmed based on annual PCCAT Membership renewal, and in dialogue with your jurisdiction’s Council on Admissions/Articulation and Transfer or like body in Canada (CAT), based on their existing transfer system users’ membership lists.
A brief PCCAT Forum User Guide is provided to assist you in getting started once you receive a Forum invitation email.
