Welcome! - You may have arrived from a City of

(The BC government education website lists only public institutions, and thus not
TWU or Vancouver University).
As a member of WCET we subscribe to its Principles of Good Practice. We accept a wide range of classroom and on-line courses into a coherent and complete degree in arts, applied science, business, education, general studies, or technology. We collaborate with various on-line colleges systems, like that of Kansas. Our domains include VancouverUniversity.ca and edu / ExternalDegrees.org / WorldwideUniversity.ca and edu etc.
We welcome entity requests for course/program credit transfer and simple identification in that context, or for more formal membership if interested. All source types - government, independent / campus-based, electronic - will be considered. In our external degree process, an affiliate or client entity may request that a particular degree be structured to match their need. We then collectively determine the appropriate courses, examinations, research reports etc to ensure a credible outcome. The result may include on-line courses along with those based in a campus, workplace, or field setting.
For historic global affiliates see pp.618-621, Canadian Government 1996 National Guide to College and University Programmes.

About a related website: A largely-wireless "electronic web", convergence, multi-media "links" - and societal outcomes - were all predicted in 1971 by our president Raymond Rodgers in Man in the Telesphere. And for decades he lobbied the BC government to establish BC's Knowledge Network, Open Learning Agency, Credit Bank / ICES, Provincial Learning Network, community skills centres and more value-added rural economic development. In 1970 Dr Rodgers proposed to the Canadian and US governments telex-networked "talent banks" like now the National Graduate Register.
