2013/14-2017/18 Transfer Students: Profile and Performance
British Columbia Council on Admissions and Transfer
This report examines transfer student pathways and performance from British Columbia (BC) Transfer System institutions into BC's public research-intensive universities: Royal Roads University (RRU), Simon Fraser University (SFU), Thompson Rivers University (TRU), University of British Columbia (UBC), University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC), and University of Victoria (UVIC). The analysis uses data from the 2013/14 academic year through to the 2017/18 academic year. The British Columbia Council on Admissions and Transfer (BCCAT) has commissioned similar reports for nearly 30 years, with the latest editions completed in 2010 and 2015. These reports have found utility among several audiences. Sending institutions may use the information in their curriculum and student success planning, as well as in student recruiting, while receiving institutions may use the information to evaluate transfer student success or to refine admission requirements. This report highlights both the continued overall success of transfer students following their transfer to research universities, and the ongoing change in how students transfer within BC's post-secondary system, as institutions change and new pathway options become available. The report begins with a description of the background of the research project and a description of the research methodology. The results of the data analysis are then presented in three parts: a profile of transfer student demographics and activity, a comparison of the academic performance of direct entry students and transfer students, and a comparison of transfer student and direct entry students in specific courses.
