BC Transfer Students: Profile and Performance Report (2018/19-2022/23)
This report highlights the pathways and performance of students who transferred credits from BC Transfer System institutions to Capilano University, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Royal Roads University, Simon Fraser University, Thompson Rivers University, University of British Columbia, University of Northern British Columbia, University of the Fraser Valley, and University of Victoria during the period 2018/19 to 2022/23 academic years.
BCCAT has conducted studies on BC transfer student profile and performance for nearly 30 years (e.g., in 2010, 2015 and 2020). These studies compare BC transfer students’ profile and performance with the demographics and performance of students who entered the universities directly from a BC high school (“BC direct entry students”). The results of the current research support many findings of the previous similar studies and also uncover trends that were specific to the latest reporting period, part of which coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic.
