ONTransfer.ca: A valuable resource for Ontario guidance counsellors to help students understand their postsecondary options

ONTransfer.ca is a valuable resource that supports students as they navigate their next academic step.
Developed and maintained by the Ontario Council on Articulation and Transfer (ONCAT), this free online
tool explains how academic pathways work and identifies postsecondary options. ONTransfer.ca can also
identify alternate entry points into programs or schools, which can be especially beneficial for students who
may not initially meet admission criteria.


ONTransfer.ca also shows how credit transfer works, which is essential for students who may, at some
point, want to transfer credits between programs or institutions; this helps students save previously earned
credits, time, and money.


One of the most valuable features of ONTransfer.ca is the ability to access additional support and guidance.
Students can easily connect with the ONTransfer.ca team through the website, which also provides contact
information for every postsecondary institution in Ontario.


Following up with someone and asking specific questions empowers students to make informed choices
and feel confident when making important educational decisions. Guidance counsellors can leverage this
resource to support their students and effectively contribute to their academic success. For more
