Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) in relation to

Programme Articulation Arrangements

between

Institutes of Technology Ireland and Colleges Ontario

in the field of Business

(incorporating Marketing, Human Resource Management, Accounting and Business Administration)

General Terms of Agreement Colleges Ontario and Institutes of Technology Ireland (IoTI) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) committing to ongoing collaboration on several important fronts. Under the umbrella of this MoU, specific student pathways have been identified that enhance the professional and international learning opportunities for the graduates of Ontario colleges that are affiliated to Colleges Ontario and of Institutes of Technology that are affiliated to IoTI. In each program area for which there is mutual interest in student pathway development, a team of Ontario and Irish discipline experts have undertaken an alignment and gap analysis based on a comparison of Irish National and Ontario Qualifications Frameworks. Further analysis of a representative sample of program curricula identified that specific curricula vary in focus, the balance of theory and application, and course content. Based on these analyses, the discipline expert teams recommend to the receiving Institutes of Technology a) block Baccalaureate credit for related Ontario Diploma study, b) relevant qualifications and bridging requirements and c) point-of-entry to honours baccalaureate programmes. This MoA offers these recommendations with the understanding that the Institutes and Colleges are the sole arbiters in relation to their academic commitments and that individual institutions will make all final decisions in relation to their participation or otherwise under the terms of this agreement. All of the Ontario Colleges that are members of Colleges Ontario and that offer the program(s) designated in this MoA are parties to this MoA. It is hereby agreed between the Ontario Colleges, who are parties to this MoA, and the Institutes of Technology (IoT), Ireland, listed in Appendix A below, that graduates of Ontario Colleges Diploma and Advanced Diploma programs that meet the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities' (MTCU) Learning Outcomes Program Standards for the field of business (incorporating marketing, human resource management, accounting and business administration) are eligible for consideration for admission to the IoT programmes listed in Appendix B below.

Alignment Studies Graduates from the Ontario Colleges, who qualify for consideration for admission as specified above, will need to complete studies as detailed in Appendix B, or equivalent, in Canada, Ireland or elsewhere, to qualify for entry to the listed Institute of Technology, Ireland programmes. Grade Requirements To be eligible for consideration for entry to matching IoT, Ireland programmes, Ontario Colleges’ students will need to have achieved or bettered the following grade averages:

Diploma – 60%

Advanced Diploma – 60% These entry grade requirements will be subject to periodic review.

Notes

1. The Alignment Study Requirements refer to modules that CO graduates must complete to ensure that they meet the entry requirements of IoT programmes that are cognate with the Diplomas and Advanced Diplomas that they have completed. Alignment study requirements may vary somewhat from Institute to Institute and may be updated in line with programme changes. Students should contact the Institute of interest in advance to ensure that full details of alignment studies are reviewed before they make final decisions re: submitting applications for admission.

2. The Exemption Recommendations column refers to cases where CO graduates have completed learning for which they can be granted exemptions in the IoTI system.

3. It is important that both alignment and exemption details be specified where relevant as, with a combination of alignment and exemption modules, CO graduates may be in a position to avail of "customised semesters” 5 and 6 in the IoT system during which they can complete the extra modules required for alignment purposes while completing fewer modules in subject areas in which they are already well qualified.
