Collaboration and partnerships
AU has a long-standing practice of working collaboratively with other Canadian and international post-secondary educational institutions, with professional associations and employer groups and with First Nations institutions and communities to facilitate access to university-level study. Over 350 formal collaborative agreements are now in place. In addition, students enrolled at other post-secondary institutions make extensive use of AU courses and educational services to help them complete their degrees.
Educational partnerships
Educational partnerships provide real opportunities for you. Through AU's partnerships with other post-secondary institutions, you can, for example, add AU courses to your program at a partner institution, take classroom versions of AU courses at a partner institution or enrol in AU programs while studying at or working for a partner institution.
Through established transfer agreements, AU also recognizes previous education that you may have obtained through colleges, technical institutes or professional organizations. Block credit transfer arrangements have been established with numerous educational providers across Canada, granting program graduates a specified number of credits toward particular AU degrees.
