Create transfer hypotheticals, communicate with institutional staff, track your grades, plan your schooling path, and bring your support system along in one place, under one system.
If you have found CONNECT, you are probably exploring options inside your current institution, at another institution, or both. Across our student pilot cohorts, the question we heard most often was simple:
What happens to the credits I already earned?
We know transfer process is burdensome.
Students go through it without a clear picture of where their credits actually land, which narrows their options before they apply.
Today, students piece together emails, calendars, advisor notes, transfer databases, Reddit threads, and application portals. With CONNECT, the same journey starts from one transcript and becomes a clear path.
It can mean another semester, another tuition cycle, and a delay no one had budgeted for. The earlier these questions get answered, the less is lost.
Whether you are exploring a new degree, changing careers, relocating, returning to school, looking for a faster path, or simply wondering what else is possible, you are not alone. Students across the country are asking the same questions, and we are here to assure you redirection and exploration are normal parts of post-secondary life.

CONNECT was built with the student-centred transfer process in mind. We wanted to make sure you could not only explore your options, but actually get to your destination. That means grade forecasting, organized semester calendars, conditional-offer monitoring, institutional collaboration, and — perhaps most importantly — portals for you and your support system.
Upload your transcript and see how your completed courses may apply across the institutions you are considering — before you apply.
See how those credits may apply to a specific destination program, not just whether they transfer.
Find courses at your current school that may count toward your preferred future program, so your next semester can work for where you are going.
Connect with recruiters, advisors, transfer specialists, and institutional staff in one workspace where maps, documents, questions, and conditional-offer updates can be reviewed together.
Ask from a broad goal or a specific requirement. Atlas connects school policies, program rules, transfer history, commute, GPA, and timing to help turn uncertainty into a usable pathway.
Upload your syllabi and CONNECT organizes due dates, weights, late policies, priorities, reminders, and grade impact across your semester.
Forecast GPA against transfer, admission, and conditional-offer thresholds before a final grade becomes a problem.
Give parents and supporters a clear view of credits, timelines, documents, costs, unanswered questions, and next steps while preserving student autonomy.
Atlas helps turn broad transfer questions into clearer next steps. Ask about nearby schools, program requirements, credit-map gaps, GPA thresholds, advisor questions, or what to compare before applying.
Every transfer starts with a question.Every journey starts with a map.
One workspace for every moving piece. Applications, transcripts, advisor questions, credit maps, conditional offers, deadlines, and next courses — organized so you and your family can see what is done, what is pending, and what needs attention next.
We know you are already overwhelmed, and the last thing we want is for the difficulty of the process to be the reason you stop exploring what is possible. These four pillars are the foundation everything CONNECT does is built on.
Built around school rules, calendars, prerequisites, co-requisites, and program context.
Students and parents see why a pathway appears, not just that it does.
Clearer questions in, faster advising conversations out.
Official review stays with the receiving school. CONNECT prepares; institutions decide.
If you have found your way to CONNECT, you probably find yourself in a situation much like my own, with hundreds of questions surrounding the uncertainty of your future.
The first piece of advice I can venture is to explore all options available to you, even if you had written some off because you assumed you would be uninterested. My second is to provide you with a silver lining that usually only becomes apparent months after your moments of doubt: in now knowing what you dislike, you narrow down the scope of what you do like.
In 2023, I had completed the first year of the Community and Justice Services diploma program, heading off to placement in the fall at a local law firm. I knew since commencing the program that the final destination of my studies was completing a J.D. at a Canadian institution, but as you can expect, after completing my placement, I realized that the legal field was of no interest to me as a long-term occupational commitment.
I had never heard of transferring until I approached the coordinator of my program, Professor Melissa Kakuk, who introduced me to the world of pathway agreements, overloading, and transfer credits. So I started looking for pathway agreements from my program into other degrees, only to realize that there were no established agreements into fields of interest, so I explored institutions that had the most course equivalencies for the credits I had completed thus far.
Naturally, I had many questions, including but definitely not limited to the following: Would my credits transfer? Would they actually count toward another degree? Would I have to repeat courses I had already passed? Would I lose the time, money, and effort I had already put in?
Thus, to answer those questions, I reached out to eight institutional sources and spent about three months trying to identify the path that would maximize what I could keep and minimize what I might lose. I was fortunate to receive strong institutional guidance, but the process still required me to thoroughly examine transfer databases, program calendars, residency requirements, electives, degree requirements, course rules, and the difference between a credit transferring and a credit actually applying, since I did not wish to apply to many schools and harbour the cost of application fees without knowing how many credits would actually apply to my degree.
This is the founding principle that would go on to inspire CONNECT: transparency and exploration before any monetary or physical commitment of any kind from the student.
I had to ask where each credit would go, what requirement it would satisfy, whether it would fall into electives, whether it would meet residency rules, and whether another program would make better use of the same academic work. By applying that logic to my own pathway, I went on to transfer from St. Clair College to the University of Windsor and graduate in Honours Sociology and Criminology with only 13 credits left to complete.
Since graduating from college, I have spent two years working at St. Clair College in learner mobility research, including ONCAT-supported work examining flexible pathways and barriers within the transfer process. I have also learned from sector-wide conversations through ONCAT, where colleges, universities, advisors, registrars, researchers, and government stakeholders are working through the same larger question: how do we help learners move through education with less uncertainty?
Although there are many studies you will find from institutions regarding the transfer experience, I found after being a transfer student who experienced this immense pressure and uncertainty, to joining the institution to explore mobility, that CONNECT could come to capture both sides of experiences.
I know what it feels like to be the student trying to make a decision without a clear answer. Likewise, I also know that institutions are carrying complex policies, workloads, approvals, and responsibilities behind the scenes.
Our role is to help students understand their options earlier, ask better questions, and see what their credits may do before they apply, commit, or find out too late, while keeping transfer credit decisions still belong to colleges and universities, operating solely as the facilitator of communication.
So yeah, I suppose you can say it worked out for me. Nevertheless, if you had told me four years ago I would dedicate my time to a part of the education system I had not even known existed, I would have found that more implausible than the transfer itself.
