Principles for Sustainable Collaboration
What makes CVU work
“An excellent initiative that was very well planned and executed”
“I think it’s successful from the point of view of having a dynamic and professional image”
“I think CVU is very well managed and has exceptional communication”
“It has diverse institutions working together fairly effectively across jurisdictions”
“Successful culture that challenges us to work together”
Measures of consortium strength
Can a student take a whole program through the consortium without having to physically move between institutions ?
Can a student automatically or without much trouble transfer credits and courses from one institution to another within the consortium?
½Does the consortium provide “one-stop shopping”, namely student services, registration, fee payment, at any single point
Do students have a much wider range of choice of courses, and at better quality, resulting from the consortium’s activities?Can a student pay the same fee for the same kind of course irrespective of institution?
Foundations for a strong consortium
