Educational affiliations are agreements with post-secondary institutions or other bodies that create opportunities for educational programming, student pathways, or applied research. Educational affiliations extend Vancouver Community College's (VCC; the College) ability to create learning experiences for students, partnerships for offering credentials, collaborations for applied research and scholarship, or equivalent course/credit pathways between institutions.

This policy and related procedures establish the guiding principles for educational affiliations and establish a development and approval process that assists Vancouver Community College in making informed judgements about the desirability of specific affiliations and in articulating a clear process that governs agreements.
