International assessment of academic documents by post-secondary institutions and other bodies represents a complex field guided by quality assurance frameworks, formal conventions and best practice. This research study seeks to illuminate this complexity by examining current practices, constraints, perspectives, and possibilities for transfer and exchange assessment informed by a cross-Canada and international environmental scan. Research objectives for this report include providing a literature review; exploring and showcasing exemplars across Canada and around the world that represent innovative, efficient, and scalable examples of promising practices; identifying a typology of assessment activities informed by a survey of institutions and qualitative interviews, with a particular focus on members of the BC Transfer System; providing member-informed issues and recommendations; and identifying potential next steps and areas for future research. This study contributes to the research on international document assessment practices for transfer and exchange credit in British Columbia (BC) and across Canada. It achieves this by articulating the practices and perspectives of Canadian postsecondary institutions, including members of the BC Transfer System, and by identifying exemplars and available resources and tools. Significant previous research and efforts in BC to enhance transfer and the systems and supports available to institutions--research such as the provincial course equivalency system and best practice guides, led by groups such as BCCAT and its committees--set the stage for moving forward with recommendations identified through this research.
