Student Transfer, Success, and Mobility in BC Post-Secondary Institutions: A Synthesis of Research This report is a synopsis of what BCCAT has learned about admissions and transfer in the BC public post-secondary system. It incorporates recent and foundational research sponsored by BCCAT and that which others have done with BCCAT’s support. The scope of the paper includes student experiences in entering and moving between post-secondary institutions, and their outcomes in terms of graduation and subsequent activities.
This report highlights findings of a survey of BC public post-secondary students who changed institutions in the 2010/11 period. The survey was designed to learn more about students’ educational goals and motivations for changing institutions, their satisfaction with the institutions and their transfer experience, and how their experience could have been improved. For further details, including links to an executive summary and related publications, see www.bccat.ca/publications/research/surveyofmovers.
