6 BC Transfer Students: Profile and Performance Report
2008/09 – 2012/13
Summary
During 2008/09 – 2012/13, transfer students constituted
about one-third of the student population at the institutions that are members of the Research Universities’
Council of British Columbia, as in 2003/04 – 2007/08.
The majority of transfer students moved between Lower
Mainland institutions. Three quarters of transfer students brought at least enough credits to transfer to the
second year. Among those, 22% of students brought
60-64 credits, which means that they were eligible to
transfer to third year.
Despite demographic
differences, transfer students’
performance is comparable
with that of direct entry
students.
During their first 12 months at their new institutions, transfer
students took a slightly smaller course load than direct entry
students – 24.1 credits vs 25.9 credits respectively. Arts and
Social Sciences were two Schools/Faculties that transfer students most often chose to major in; and fewer transfers than
direct entry students majored in Science. Programs in liberal
arts, general studies, humanities, and business/commerce
were also popular among transfer students.
Transfer students are on average almost 5 years older than
direct entry students (22.8 vs. 17.9 years old). The gender distribution of transfer student presented only a 3% difference
with direct entry students: 57% of transfer students and 54%
of direct entry students are female.
Despite demographic differences, transfer students’ performance is comparable with that of direct entry students. Both
experienced the “entrance shock” or “transfer shock” as a
drop in performance from admissions GPA during the first few
months at a new institution. For both groups GPA increased
by the time of graduation; in some cases becoming even higher than at admission. Overall, transfer students’ graduation
GPA was higher than direct entry students’ graduation GPA
for all receiving institutions, except SFU (no comparison could
be made for RRU due to their program structure).
About 67% of students who transferred in 2008/09 and 2009/10 graduated from their degree programs by the
end of the period under study. The degree completion rates varied by sending and receiving institution, as well
as by region. As there are many factors that influence completion rate, the average number of months required
to graduate also varies for transfer students. The overall average for all students entering institutions was about
33 months (slightly less than 3 years) for the 2008/09 cohort who graduated in or before 2012/13. Degrees most
commonly received by transfer students were Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Business Administration/Commerce,
and Bachelor of Science. The comparison of performance (GPA) in selected courses revealed that transfer students performed well in courses at second- and third- year level.

10 BC Transfer Students: Profile and Performance Report
2008/09 – 2012/13
Introduction
The BC Council on Admissions and Transfer has been periodically publishing BC College Transfer Student Profile
reports for almost 25 years. Historically, these reports tracked the mobility of students from colleges and institutes to degree granting research-intensive universities in BC, the pathway which is often referred to as linear
or vertical transfer (Bahr, 2012; Ishitani & McKitrick, 2010; Laanan, Starobin, & Eggleston, 2010; Miller, 2013;
Mullin, 2012; Townsend, 2001; Wang & Wickersham, 2014). While transfer patterns in BC have always been more
complex than in many U.S. jurisdictions, given the wider variety of institutions that participate in the BC Transfer
System, patterns have become even more complex during the period examined in this report.
The BC post-secondary system witnessed significant change in the last decade. In 2005, programs offered at
Okanagan University College were split between two new institutions: Okanagan College and University of British
Columbia - Okanagan. In the same year, the University College of the Cariboo became Thompson Rivers University. In 2007 Institute of Indigenous Government became a part of Nicola Valley Institute of Technology, and in
2008, several BC university colleges were granted university status, and expanded their degree programs.1 Finally, in 2012, the BC Transfer System undertook an “Enabling” initiative, recognizing that Transfer System members
both send and receive transfer students and that the Transfer System should acknowledge and support both
traditional, “vertical” transfer and other transfer pathways, including movement among colleges, teaching-intensive universities and institutes (lateral transfer; e.g. Bahr 2012) and transfer from research-intensive universities
(reverse transfer, as per Townsend 2001 definition; Heslop (2011)).
Most existing literature is focused on vertical (or linear) transfer. U.S. studies investigate the performance and
success of transfer students (Ehrenberg & Smith, 2004; Hossler et al., 2012; Stewart & Martinello, 2012; Wang
& Wickersham, 2014), retention and completion rates (Gegenfurtner, 2013; Laanan et al., 2010), and conditions
to improve policy (Bautsch, 2013; Lorenzo, 2011) and institutional practices (Carter, Coyle, & Leslie, 2011; Miller,
2013; Townley et al., 2013) aimed at facilitating transfer.
This report aims at analyzing demographic characteristics and academic performance of transfer students to
research-intensive universities in BC during 2008/09 – 2012/13 academic years. Other transfer pathways were
not considered.
This report would not have been possible without the help of all the Research Universities’ Council of BC (RUCBC) members and their participation is gratefully acknowledged:
•Royal Roads University (RRU)
•Simon Fraser University (SFU)
•Thompson Rivers University (TRU)
•University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC)
•University of British Columbia (UBC)
•University of Victoria (UVic)
Transfer student profiles and performance data constitute two sections in this report. The first section reports on
the number of transfer students by year, by sending institution, transfer credit volume, credits undertaken in the
first 12 months at the receiving institution, program, age and gender. The second section contains data regarding
academic performance: grade point averages at various points of their studies, number of months and credits to
complete the degree and degree completion rates.
These were Capilano University, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, University of the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island University, and Emily Carr University of

BC Transfer Students: Profile and Performance Report 11
Methodology
The reliance on a consistent
data template across
participating institutions is
one of the strengths of the
analysis, but it carries some
caveats.
In contrast to the last report completed by BCCAT, covering
the years 2003/04 to 2007/08, this report makes use of a
template for data collection, and presents the information
in an aggregate format. Previous reports were completed
independently by each of the research universities that
participated, resulting in differing approaches to data presentation. The reliance on a consistent data template across
participating institutions is one of the strengths of the
analysis, but it carries some caveats. The template assists in
producing comparable data across the participating institutions; however, different student record systems and different availability of information among the universities
still present challenges.
Another important methodological difference from previous
reports is the identification of the student’s sending institution.
In the earlier reports, the students were considered as coming
from the institution from which they received the most credits.
In this report, the sending institution is the last institution that
the student transferred from. SFU estimates that, with the reliance on the current approach, the sending institution is different for approximately 2% of transfer students admitted to the
university during 2008/09 – 2012/13. The 2003/04 – 2007/08
report did not include students transferring from institutions
outside of the BC Transfer System, except for Fraser International College, which had been established within the reporting
period. The current report aims to capture all BC institutions
that students transfer from. Despite these methodological
changes, the results are comparable with previous Profile and
Performance Reports published by BCCAT. The changes reflected the more recent – and more complex – student mobility pattern, where students obtain and transfer credits from a number
of institutions.
UBC-Vancouver (UBC-V) and UBC-Okanagan (UBC-O) campuses
are reported separately as receiving institutions where possible,
as they serve different regions and cohorts of transfer students.
UBC-V and UBC-O as senders are combined in all sections except in Appendices if reported separately. The same applies to
TRU and TRU’s Open Learning division where they are reported
as senders. “Internal” transfers between the UBC campuses and
between the two TRU divisions are not included as transfers for
the purpose of this study.
12 BC Transfer Students: Profile and Performance Report
2008/09 – 2012/13
Research shows that students often return to post-secondary education after a significant “stop-out” period (STP
2013). Where students are transferring from an institution that has merged or changed status (e.g., Institute of
Indigenous Government) during this stop-out, their original institution is reported. Thus Okanagan University
College students are reported as such, not as Okanagan College or UBC-O students.
Data is reported for all public post-secondary institutions in BC, including transfers from one research-intensive
university to another, as well as for BC private post-secondary institutions that sent transfer students to the 6
universities. Yukon College is also included as a member of BC Transfer System and an active sender of students
to BC institutions.
Small numbers of transferring students are masked to protect individual privacy. A cell is considered sensitive
if the row or column total or subtotal is smaller than 10. In this case, totals and subtotals for rows and columns
with masked cells as well as randomly selected cells in same rows and columns are rounded to the nearest 5 and
marked by an asterisk. For performance data, cells with fewer than 10 students are considered sensitive, and are
masked. For course-specific data in Appendices, GPA for cells with fewer than 5 students is suppressed.
For several of the analyses, sending institutions are grouped into regions as follows:

BC Transfer Students: Profile and Performance Report 13
Data Definitions
Transfer Students
SFU, UBC, UNBC, UVic (universities that have “Transfer” as the basis of admissions): Students having the basis
of admission “Transfer from a College”, or “Transfer from a University”, or BC Associate Degree, or similar. The
last institution attended must have been in British Columbia, or Yukon College. Transfer students must have a
minimum of 15 credits obtained at one or more post-secondary institutions, and a minimum 2.00 grade point
average.
RRU and TRU: A student who transfers from a BC post-secondary institution or from Yukon College with a minimum of 15 eligible credits as articulated in the BC Transfer Guide.
Admission to RRU’s baccalaureate programs is targeted to predominantly block transfer students (the University
only started tracking block transfer into the system in 2010); thus direct entry students are not reported for RRU.
In addition, the distribution of credits that transfer students bring to RRU differs from the other universities.
RRU’s continuous intake model makes it challenging to provide data at specific milestones, or to define admission cohorts in a manner similar to other institutions. Hence, there are limitations on the information presented
in this report for RRU.
Direct Entry Students
Students who have transitioned to one of the six RUCBC universities within one year of their high school graduation, and who were admitted between 2008/09 and 2012/13.
Credential Awarded
Credentials (degree, certificate, diploma, etc.) awarded by the post-secondary institution to students included in
this study as either Transfer or Direct Entry Students. For students who have been awarded one or more degrees,
only the first degree is included. For degree graduates, certificates or diplomas previously awarded by the receiving institution are also included.
Credits Transferred
All credits that Transfer Students transferred to the receiving institution.
When Transfer students’ credits were transferred from more than one BC institution, the transfer institution is
the last BC institution that they attended.
Grade Point Average (GPA)
A student average grade expressed in a numeric format on a standard scale ranging from 0 to 4.33, where possible. For GPA at 15 credits after admission and at graduation, cumulative GPA is used.
Selected 200- and 300-Level Courses
Courses with high enrolment of BC College Transfer students, including both degree completers and non-completers. These courses typically are required core courses for programs frequently taken by Transfer Students.
SFU, UBC, UNBC, UVic: Courses included in the previous (2003 - 2008) BC College Transfer Profile report, except
where enrolments are too low during the study period (less than 50 Transfer Students enrolled per course over
the period 2008/09 - 2012/13) or the course no longer exists.
RRU and TRU: Courses with high enrolment of Transfer Students, including both degree completers and
non-completers. RRU and TRU reported courses with over 30 and 25 Transfer Students respectively.
14 BC Transfer Students: Profile and Performance Report
2008/09 – 2012/13
Profile of BC Transfer Students
Number of Transfer Students
For the years considered in this report, transfer students constitute approximately one-third of the incoming
class at the institutions included in the study, with a total of 27,790 transfer students over the past 5-year period.
(The comparable figure in the 2003/04 – 2007/08 period was 27,685 transfer students.) (Table 1.) The proportion
of transfer students in the incoming classes included in this study is consistent with the proportions found in
other North American jurisdictions (Shapiro et al., 2013).
Figure 1 shows the trend in transfer student numbers over the last two reporting periods. Although there have
been changes in the reporting methodology, the 2008/09 – 2012/13 numbers are generally comparable to the
previous five years. The 2003/04 – 2007/08 report predominantly included transfer students who transferred 24
credits or more. The current trend shows a decline of these traditional “BC College Transfer Students”, and an
increasing prevalence of students transferring 15 or more credits. The role of private institutions is also evident
in the current report, partly because some of the private institutions were not reported in the previous 5-year
period.
Number of Transfer Students per Year 7,000 6,000 5,000 4,000 3,000 2,000 1,000 0 2003/04 2004/05 2005/06 2006/07 2007/08 2008/09 2009/10 2010/11 2011/12 2012/13 Figure 1. Number of transfer students by year
Lower Mainland institutions continue to be major senders of transfer students (66% of all transfer students, as
shown in Table 2). Overall, 51% of all transfer students come from Lower Mainland public institutions. Compared
to the previous reporting period, the importance of private institutions has increased: in 2003/04 – 2007/08
transfer students from private institutions accounted for 6%, while during the last 5 years their proportion has
risen to 15%. While differences in methodology (particularly the decision to identify the sending institution
based on last attendance rather than by the source of the largest proportion of credits transferred) explain some
of this difference, the establishment of new public-private partnerships, such as that developed by Fraser International College and SFU, has clearly had an impact as well (Figure 3).
Consistent with 2003/04 – 2007/08, most transfer students were enrolled at SFU (42%), UBC (32%; specifically
25% UBC-V and 7% UBC-O) and UVic (18%). Figure 2 and Table 3 present trends in the transfer student numbers
by receiving institution.

• Numbers include 318 UVic transfer students who transferred with less than 15 credits.
• Masking small numbers example: A cell is considered sensitive if the row or column total or subtotal is smaller than 10. The cell is marked with “X”.
When a total denominator is less than 10, all individual numbers are masked (e.g., Institute of Indigenous Government). When the denominator is
greater than 10, individual numbers are not masked (e.g., Emily Carr University of Art and Design). Totals in rows and columns with masked cells as
well as another cell in the same row and column are rounded to the nearest 5, and marked with an asterisk.

• Numbers include 318 UVic transfer students who transferred with less than 15 credits.
• Transfers as a percent of total number of students was calculated based on transfer and direct entry admission categories only. It is assumed that the percent
of other admission categories (e.g. mature students) is small.
• A cell is considered sensitive if the row or column total or subtotal is smaller than 10. The cell is marked with “X”. When a total denominator is less than 10,
all individual numbers are masked. When the denominator is greater than 10, individual numbers are not masked. Totals in rows and columns with masked

Notes: Sending institutions with 10 or fewer transfer students are not shown.
• Darker colour denotes institutions new to reporting in BC Transfer Student Profile as senders. The inclusion of RUCBC members as
new senders reflects the new definition of sending institution (p. 8).

2008/09 – 2012/13
BC Transfer Students: Profile and Performance Report 19
Transfer Credits at Admission
Table 4, Table 5 and Figure 4 in this section exclude 318
UVic students transferring fewer than 15 credits, so that the
totals in the Figure and Tables do not match other sections.
Two major categories at
admission are students
transferring 30-34 credits
(which is roughly equivalent
to one year of full-time
baccalaureate studies) and
those transferring 60-64
credits (equivalent of 2 years
of full-time studies)
When admitted to a receiving institution, transfer students
are able to transfer a number of credits from their sending
institution. Two major categories at admission are students
transferring 30-34 credits (which is roughly equivalent
to one year of full-time baccalaureate studies) and those
transferring 60-64 credits (equivalent of 2 years of full-time
studies) (Figure 4). Ten percent (10%) of the students in this
study transferred more than 64 credits at admission at the
receiving institution (Table 5). Students coming from Northern BC/Yukon region transferred 65 or more credits more
often than the students in the other regions. Most transfers
from private institutions bring 30-34 credits, and this percentage is influenced by the large number of transfer students from Fraser International College.
The highest average number of credits transferred at admission were found at RRU (59.9 credits) and UNBC (55.6
credits), while the lowest average number was at TRU (41 credits) (Table 6).

BC Transfer Students: Profile and Performance Report 23
Credits Taken during First 12 Months at Receiving Institution
Previous research has identified that transfer students are
more likely to enrol part-time than are direct entry students
(Hossler et al., 2012; Ishitani & McKitrick, 2010; Monaghan &
Attewell, in press). The current report supports these findings.
Defining a full-time load as 30+ credits over an academic year,
a smaller percent of transfer students attend full-time during
their first 12 months at a receiving institution than is the case
for direct entry students (Figure 5). However, the difference in
each credit load category between transfers and direct entries
is small (no more than 8%).
... a smaller percent of transfer
students attend full-time
during their first 12 months

Notes: ^ UVic numbers were only available for the first 4 months at the receiving institution. `
Students with missing data have been omitted from this table.
“Credits taken” are calculated as all attempted and received credits.
Data for the first 12 months at the receiving institution was not available for UVic, and UVic average credits taken
in the first term (4 months). The distribution of credits at UVic also reflect slightly higher course load for direct
entry students (Table 7). Everywhere, except TRU, direct entry students take on average more credits than transfer students (Figure 6, Table 8). The largest difference between the averages (3.6 credits difference) was found
at UNBC, where transfer students take fewer credits within the first year of enrolment, possibly indicating higher
proportion of part-time students. RRU students took, on average, close to 45 credits in their first twelve months.
This is considerably greater than most other receiving institutions, which average close to 25 credits. As all of
these students are transfer students, the result is to narrow the difference between transfer and direct entry
students overall.

26 BC Transfer Students: Profile and Performance Report
2008/09 – 2012/13
Faculty and Program
The receiving universities have a wide range of Faculties/ Schools and programs, and the placement of programs
within a certain Faculty or a School differs between the institutions. This report provides regional aggregation by
Faculty/ School for each receiving institution (Tables 9 – 15), as well as a comparison of distribution by Faculty
between transfer students and direct entry students (Figures 7-12).
As in the previous report, a large proportion of transfer students registered in Arts and Social Sciences. Transfer
students chose Arts or Humanities Faculties much more often than did direct entry students. Direct entries, in
their turn, were more often registered in programs within a Science Faculty. This was the case for all receiving
institutions except UBC-O, where the distribution of transfer and direct entry students among Faculties was not
as striking. RRU does not have data on direct entry students, so no comparison can be made for the institution;
and RRU transfer students had an even distribution between RRU Faculties.

BC Transfer Students: Profile and Performance Report 33
To capture comparable information on the programs in which the students were registered, CIP (Classification
of Instructional Programs) clusters were used for grouping of students’ majors. The CIP clusters are similar to
Student Transitions Project (STP) reporting, and allow identification of the general program area the students
pursued (Table 16). The most commonly used CIP codes for transfer students included:
•14. Engineering – 6% of all transfer students
•24. Liberal arts and sciences, general studies and humanities – 10%
•45. Social Sciences – 9%
•52. Business, management, marketing and related support services – 10%
•99. Unclassified – 25%
The large percent of students in students in “Other” CIP cluster for both transfer (25%) and direct entry students
(12%) may imply that the students had not yet decided upon their area of study (Figure 13). While transfer
students may have a better idea of their target program as a result of their post-secondary experience, the larger
numbers of direct entry students in Arts and Sciences programs (53% vs 42% of transfer students) can be expected as students often switch between programs as they progress through their studies or chose their major closer
to completion.

• One student can have more than one major, hence numbers by CIP cluster are greater than the totals in Table 1.
• As data in this table presents low risk of identifying individual students, cells are only considered sensitive if the row total is smaller than 10. The cells are
marked with “X”. Totals in rows and columns with masked cells are rounded to the nearest 5, and marked with an asterisk.

Age
As was expected from the findings of previous Profile reports as well as the results of other studies (Hossler et
al., 2012; Marling, 2013; Ott, 2012), transfer students were, on average, older than direct entry students. Approximately 92% of direct entry students were under 19 years old, while only 3% of transfer students belong
to this age group (Table 17 and Figure 14). Overall, the average age for transfer students was 22.8, while direct
entry students were on average 17.9 years old (Table 18).
Lower Mainland transfer students (average age of 22.2), and especially transfer students from private institutions
in the Lower Mainland (average age of 20.9), were younger than transfer students from other regions (Table
18). This average age difference was also reflected by the main receiving institution within each region outside
the Lower Mainland: higher averages for UVic (24.5 years old) which mainly serves Vancouver Island transfer
students, UNBC (26.4) with significant student body from Northern BC/Yukon, RRU (26.0), also receiving many
students from Vancouver Island, and TRU (25) receiving students from Interior/Kootenays.

BC Transfer Students: Profile and Performance Report 39
Gender
The analysis of gender distribution presented no surprises from the previous reports – there were more female
transfer students. The 2003/04 – 2007/08 report showed 60% female – 40% male distribution of transfer students; Stewart and Martinello (2012) reported 63:37 female to male ratio in Ontario for transfer students from
colleges. The results for this reporting period uncovered a smaller imbalance: female to male ratio was 57:43 (Table 19). Consistent with the previous five reporting years, there were more female transfer students in Northern
BC/Yukon and Interior/Kootenays regions (63% and 65% of all transfer students respectively).
Male transfer students were the slight majority in three institutions that sent more than 10 students during the
reporting period: Vancouver Island University and University of the Fraser Valley (both 51% male) as well as Columbia College (52% male) (Figure 15). Regional proportions by receiving institution (Table 20) confirm that the
percent of female transfer students was higher in Northern BC/Yukon and Interior/Kootenays regions. The higher
percentage pertains to both sending institutions of each of the regions and to the receiving institutions primarily
serving the regions. The gender ratio of direct entry students is more balanced across all institutions (no data for
RRU), except for UBC-V where the female-male proportion is more balanced for transfer students (Table 20).

2008/09 – 2012/13
Performance of Transfer Students
This section is aimed at analyzing performance of transfer students through the examination of their GPA as they
progress through their studies at their receiving institution, degree completion rates and performance in specific
courses. Where possible, the analysis includes comparisons with the performance of direct entry students.
GPA at Different Times during Studies
Grade Point Average (GPA) data was collected at admission (Table 22), after completing 15 credits (roughly one
term or semester) at receiving institution (Table 23), and at graduation (Table 24).2
Average admission GPA and graduation GPA increased for transfer students in comparison to 2003/04 – 2008/09
data, where the comparison was possible based on the data provided in 2003/04 – 2007/08 institutional reports
(Table 21). The admission GPA for direct entry students increased 1.3% for SFU and UBC-V and declined 0.4
points for UNBC during this same period, while graduation GPA for direct entry students slightly declined at SFU
(0.06 points) and increased at UNBC (0.07 points) and UBC-V (almost 1%).

Source of 2008 data: BC Transfer Students Profile Reports by SFU, UBC, UNBC, and TRU.
•UBC GPA is reported as percent. UBC Graduation GPA was reported as “End of Last Session GPA” for
2007/08. UNBC 2007/08 Graduation GPA was reported as “GPA at Completion”.
•SFU 2008 graduation GPA only included degree completers. Other credential completers were not included. 2013 GPA was reported for all credentials.
•Comparison was not possible for UVic, as the university changed its GPA scale from 9-point scale used in
2003/04 – 2007/08 report to 4-point scale in 2013.
Receiving institutions use different scales to measure GPA: UBC uses percentages, while all the other institutions use a point scale. It should also be noted
that SFU and UNBC use the point scale for transfer students throughout their studies, but record the admission GPA for direct entry students as a percentage. RRU and TRU do not collect admissions GPA data, and are therefore not included in Table 21. The program structure at RRU made it challenging to
provide a GPA measure “after 15 credits” for students entering the institution. As a result, RRU information is not included in Table 22.

2008/09 – 2012/13
BC Transfer Students: Profile and Performance Report 43
Comparing regions, the GPA for Lower Mainland transfer
students was lower at both admissions and graduation for all
institutions and in both reports, except for the 2013 graduating GPA at TRU, which increased significantly in 2008/09 –
2012/13 (0.29 points increase). The graduating GPA for students who transferred from the Interior/Kootenays region to
SFU showed the most significant drop – 0.11 points.
All institutions in the current
study reported a decline in
GPA after 15 credits, with
rebound in GPA at graduation.
The analysis of GPA at three points of time by region (Figures
16 – 22) confirms the often observed phenomenon of “entrance” or “transfer shock”. Stewart and Martinello (2012), Abadin (2011) and Ott (2012) identified a decline in
GPA from admission to the end of the first term/ semester at a new institution. The “shock” has been identified
for both direct entry students who are completely new to the post-secondary environment, and for transfer
students who have some post-secondary experience. All institutions in the current study reported a decline in
GPA after 15 credits, with rebound in GPA at graduation (Figure 16). UBC, where a comparison between admissions GPA and GPA at other points is possible, showed a dramatic decline for direct entry students, based on the
entrance GPAs they carried from secondary school. As Lambert-Maberly (2010) observes, given the different
experiences of transfer and direct entry students, “we should not compare seasoned transfer students against
new direct entrants, but rather use these grades to follow their progress toward completion” (p.8).
The comparable (or better)
performance of transfer
students confirms the viability
of transfer as pathway to
successful undergraduate
education.
The overall average of transfer students’ graduating GPA was
higher than the average of direct entry students graduating GPA
at all institutions except SFU, with UVic showing the largest difference: 3.32 transfer students total; 2.99 direct entry students
total. The comparable (or better) performance of transfer students confirms the viability of transfer as pathway to successful
undergraduate education.

50 BC Transfer Students: Profile and Performance Report
2008/09 – 2012/13
Degree Completion Rate
Degree completion rate is viewed by many institutions as a
significant criterion of both institutional and student perfor... the more credits students
mance. Research in other jurisdictions reveals conflicting findcan transfer from their sending
ings regarding the success of transfer students as measured by
institutions, the more likely they
their degree completion rate. Some researchers support the
view that transfer students are as likely to complete as direct
are to complete their program at
entry students if they persist (Monaghan & Attewell, in press);
that institution.
others argue that the completion rate is too low (Marling,
2013). The analysis of degree completion rates in BC transfer
students in 2008/09 – 2012/13 revealed some regional and
institutional differences (Table 25). This analysis only involved degree completion; other credentials (e.g., certificates or diplomas) were not considered. The performance of transfer students admitted in the first two years
of the reporting period (2008/09 – 2009/10) were used in this analysis. The focus on these two cohorts allowed
at least three years for the student to complete their degree at the receiving institution. Assuming that students
transferred at least 15 credits, this would equate to a four-year completion rate. It should be noted that North
American institutions regularly report five- and six-year completion rates. The RUCBC institutions included in this
study (with the exception of RRU), have most recently reported an aggregate six-year completion rate of 67%
using the Consortium for Student Retention Data Exchange methodology (BC Higher Education Accountability
Dataset)3.
The BC Student Transitions Project recently published data (2014, p. 18), which reported a 62% five-year completion rate for students who entered and completed a bachelor’s degree program. Given that all of the attrition in
the direct entry cohort is captured at the reporting institution, and whereas some of those direct entry students
who do not complete a credential at the reporting institution may complete one elsewhere (without being captured in this data), it is not surprising to see this differential in completion rates.
Among regions of sending institutions, Northern BC/Yukon had the lowest degree completion rate (62%), and
Vancouver Island had the highest (71%). Transfer students from private institutions of the Lower Mainland completed degrees with a slightly lower rate (65%) than the students from public institutions within the same region
(67%) (Table 25). The variation in degree completion rates is attributed to “the number of transfer credits awarded, the applicability of these credits to the university program…, full-time/part-time status, the academic capabilities
of the students… and numerous other factors” (Lambert-Maberly, 2010). The overall completion rate of transfer
students was still higher (67%) than the 62% reported in the U.S. previously (Shapiro et al., 2013; p.5).
One factor in the variation of completion rates is the number of transferred credits with which students are admitted.
Counter to the findings of Monaghan and Attewell (in press) who found that there is no difference in degree attainment between students who transferred a small number of credits and those transferring 60 or more credits, the
numbers in Figure 23 support (although not tested for statistical significance) the results of earlier Transfer Student
Profile reports: the more credits students can transfer from their sending institutions, the more likely they are to
complete their program at that institution. For all institutions, students transferring more credits have a higher completion rate. On the other hand, the finding that those transferring more than 65 credits have lower completion rate
than students transferring 60-65 credits (at UBC-V, UBC-O and TRU) implies that other factors beyond the number of
transferred credits may be involved in stimulating the higher completion rate.

The current section overviews all credentials, including the
The Bachelor of Arts was the
degree completion that was dealt with specifically in the
previous section. In the current study, a total of 3,243 students
most commonly received
who transferred in 2008/09 were awarded a credential at SFU,
credential
TRU, UBC and UNBC (Table 26).4 This constitutes 72% of the
2008/09 transfer student cohort at those institutions. Data
was collected on credentials awarded to transfer students who
entered their receiving institution in 2008/09 in order to allow
sufficient time for graduation. Institutions were asked to include a cohort of direct entry students who entered
their institution in 2006/07 as a comparator. This direct entry student cohort graduated with similar types of
credentials (Figure 24).
The Bachelor of Arts was the most commonly received credential (Table 26) – 1,554 transfer students graduated
with BA in four receiving institutions. Other common credentials included the Bachelor of Business Administration/Bachelor of Commerce (477 students) and Bachelor of Science (458 students).
UVic reported credentials awarded throughout the whole 2008/09 – 2012/13 period, and the totals for the credentials received at these institutions are

not included; and RRU was not able to provide this information.

54 BC Transfer Students: Profile and Performance Report
2008/09 – 2012/13
Average Time and Number of Credits to Complete a Credential
This section analyses data on transfer students of 2008/09 admission cohort who graduated in or before
2012/13. Where applicable and possible, data on 2006/07 cohort of direct entry students is included. Research
indicates that transfer students often bring a credit equivalent of two or more years of previous studies (Miller,
2013; Shapiro et al., 2013). Utilizing a cohort of direct entry students who entered the institution two years prior
to the transfer student cohort is intended to balance the time for completion, a method successfully used in
earlier studies (Abadin, 2011). The time to complete was collected for both full-time and part-time students, and
included stop-outs.
The average number of months to complete a credential can be affected by several factors. Among them are the
choice of programs and their length at receiving institutions, number of transferred credits, and part-time vs. fulltime study. These factors limit regional and institutional comparisons; the focus of Table 27 is to present information about and for sending institutions. Table 27 shows that transfer students on average spent approximately
2.5 years at TRU (29 months) and UVic (28.3 months; however, this is the average for transfer students admitted
during the whole 5-year period, not only in 2008/2009), and closer to 3 years at SFU (37.3 months), UBC-V (35.1
months), UBC-O (34.6 months) and UNBC (32.6 months). SFU programs on average took longest to complete for
both transfer and direct entry students.
Tables 28 – 33 show the number of transfer graduates by
credential completed for each receiving institution. The number of months and the number of credits to obtain a certain
credential are also included. These numbers are smaller than
those of direct entry students because transfer students had
already spent some time at their sending institutions, obtaining
a varied number of credits that they later transferred to the
receiving institution.

60 BC Transfer Students: Profile and Performance Report
2008/09 – 2012/13
Course Performance in Selected Courses
This analysis explores course grades for selected courses from several subject areas, such as Mathematics, English, Psychology, Business and Commerce, and specialized programs such as Nursing. The courses were selected
on the basis of having a large number of transfer students (both completers and non-completers) enrolled in
them. Where possible, courses similar to the previous report were selected, except in cases when the course was
no longer offered or when transfer students’ enrolment was too low in the current period. As in the previous
years, while the direct entry students’ course grades were higher in the majority of selected courses, there were
a few courses where transfer students demonstrated equal or higher performance. These cases are highlighted
for each receiving university (except RRU) in Tables 34-39.
RRU programs do not allow for a comparison with direct entry students. Transfer students typically do not enrol
in courses lower than 300-level, so only 300-level courses were selected for the analysis. A detailed table of RRU
transfer student performance by sending institution and by course is found in Appendix A.
Appendices A – G for each receiving institution present courses with the number of transfer students, their admission GPA
(where possible) and course GPA. Due to the small enrolment
of transfer students, RRU selected courses with 30 or more
transfer students enrolled in each, and TRU described courses
with 25 or more transfer students. Given the sensitive nature
of the performance data, the GPA for small numbers (less than
five) of transfer students coming from a sending institution
are masked by “X” in the appendices. If there were no transfer
students from a particular institution, the institution may be
excluded from the tables.
2008/09 – 2012/13
... there were a few courses
where transfer students
demonstrated equal or higher
performance.
