2008 Ontario University Registrar’s Association conference

If you’re interested in a summary of what was discussed at the 2008 Ontario University Registrar’s Association conference (this would be the group for all things related to student registration: admissions, liaison, student records, scholarships) then you can read a blog entry by Ken Steele of Academia Group. 

It never hurts to know what these guys are discussing.  Michelle Lea, Director of Admissions, Brock University was a panel moderator for a session entitled, “Admissions Roundtable: Reflecting on Trends in the Canadian Post-Secondary System.”  I’m going to ask her whether homeschooling came up at all during that session.  Otherwise, I didn’t see anything on the schedule indicating that they’re talking about us.  :)

Thanks for the mention, Sarah. I was actually in that session, and am pretty sure that homeschooling did not arise in the discussion. Most of the attention was paid to college applied degrees, and how to consider them for admission to graduate programs. (The consensus is that right now, it’s very tough to get into a graduate program with a college degree, especially in Ontario.)

Thanks for reporting, Ken! Now matter how niche a conference may seem to be, I’m sure there are always outsiders who are interested in knowing what are hot topics in the field.

I did hear back promptly from Michelle and she mentioned the same thing: much of the focus is on dealing with the applied degrees.

Not a huge disappointment. Sometimes it’s good to slip in under the radar . . .
