Greg Evans started to study film at Ryerson University, but had a change of heart and switched to social
work at George Brown College in second year. Yet the college recognized only one of Evans' general-interest
credits(学分) from Ryerson, and also made him take English all over again although he had passed it at
university.
"So I spent time and money taking a course I had already taken before," complained Evans. "The system
really needs to change." Evans was part of a chorus of Ontario students on Monday cheering a new $ 73. 7
million five-year plan to help students switch from college to university, and from university to college.
After years of urging from students, the Ontario government set up a new Credit Transfer Innovation Fund
to help students move back and forth between the more hands-on courses of community college to the often
broader academic focus of a university degree. "We hear horror stories about students who can't get recognition
from one institution for a very similar course at another, and in one case I believe the same professor was
teaching them both," noted Milloy after announcing the new fund.
Individual colleges and universities have decided on nearly 500 joint deals to honour each other's credits in
certain courses. Each school is required to set targets for more credit-transfer agreements, and link these
increases to provincial funding.
More than 4,000 college graduates transfer (转换) to university in Ontarion every year-twice as many as
eight years ago, noted Justin Fox, president of the College Student Alliance. Yet Ontario universities and colleges
have been cautious about transferring credits, in part to avoid copying each other's courses, noted Bonnie
Patterson, president of the Council of Ontario Universities, who welcomed the increased flexibility.
