Take the time and effort to meet with all the institutions block transfer, bridging, flexible pre-major? - Is this project formalizing course-by-course? Or figuring out what we ALL share? (for example: core + certifications) - Or is a one-year core more suitable? - Movement to accept the common curriculum for the Block (rather than contentspecific) - Double transfer issues students doing a year and then transferring to a college for a diploma, then transferring for a degree - Ensuring that individuality and uniqueness at each instruction is maintained o Is the uniqueness an issue at the lower level (core) vs. the upper level (receiving/degree-granting institutions) - SWOT Analysis detailed analysis strengths, weaknesses, opportunities & threats o Why and what are we doing (first) and then the structure will come into place? - UVic, UBC, SFU is there a point to participating (student enrolment is not an issue)? - Challenge is that the larger the block (i.e., 60 credits), the less flexible it will become 4
