We started the year with the fundamentals. Now we go deeper.
When the Alberta Association of Career Colleges launched Class List 101 earlier this year, the goal was to establish a shared foundation the structure of the list, the basic requirements, and what colleges need to have in place to submit with confidence. That session set the stage. This one builds on it.
As we move through 2026 and begin preparing for the Academic year, the fifth session of the Policy to Practice webinar series takes the class list from basics to strategy. Class List 201 is for the teams who completed 101 and walked away with more questions the right kind of questions. The ones that come from understanding just enough to know there is more to get right.
The Alberta Class List is not a form. It is a compliance record. Who is on it, when codes are applied, how graduation and job placement outcomes are documented, and what belongs in the Ministry Notes field these are not administrative details. They are decisions with real implications for funding, reporting, and audit outcomes. Getting them right consistently, across programs and intake cycles, requires more than familiarity. It requires strategy.
This session is designed to give member college teams exactly that. Building directly on the groundwork laid in Class List 101, this session addresses the deeper questions that surface when colleges move from understanding the list to actively managing it through attrition, through job placement timelines, and through the documentation standards that determine how outcomes are reported heading into a new academic year.
