“This agreement is just the beginning of a long journey, but it’s a journey that I believe will lead to remarkable outcomes for our communities.”
Dr. Robert Williamson is confident a new transfer portal between two B.C. post-secondary schools can inspire and produce a multitude of educators to help the next generation of diverse learners.
On Aug. 14, an agreement was unveiled that will allow students at Douglas College to transfer 75 per cent of their credits directly to Simon Fraser University’s (SFU) .
This means 45 of 60 credits can move students from the New Westminster-Coquitlam school up Burnaby Mountain and into the second year of SFU’s program.
In a news release, SFU stated this will address the “ongoing shortage” of diverse learning supports in B.C. schools — specifically for students with disabilities.
