Profile of BC College Transfer Students 2003/04 to 2007/08. Research Results

This newsletter summarizes the results from five reports commissioned by the British Columbia Council on Admissions and Transfer (BCCAT) that profiled the academic experiences and demographics of BC college transfer students: those students who transferred from a BC college, university college, or institute to a BC university during the period 2003/04 to 2007/08. The reports were prepared by Simon Fraser University, Thompson Rivers University, the University of British Columbia (Vancouver campus), the University of Northern British Columbia, and the University of Victoria. Between them, over the period concerned, they welcomed over 27,000 BC college transfer students. SFU and TRU included transfer students from Yukon College, which is a member of the BC Transfer System (i.e., the set of institutions within BC for which transfer agreements, overseen by BCCAT, have been made).
