Welcome
Military-connected learners may face unique and contextual challenges in pursuing a diploma, degree, or specialty certification, where the development of tailored on-campus programming and employment support will give back to those who served our nation.

Release Point Education brought Fanshawe College, Georgian College, Humber College, Lambton College, and Loyalist College together to support military-connected learners. A first in Ontario and will fundamentally shape the provincial postsecondary landscape. The MoU will:
· transfer up to 100 percent of course credits while recognizing distinct college requirements;
· streamline the enrolment process between institutions; and
· share military-affiliated prior learning and assessment recognition practices to support institutional consistency.
