INTRODUCTION
This report provides a profile of transfer students admitted to Simon Fraser University
from B.C. Colleges over the past five years, from 1991/92 to 1995/96. Transfer
students represent approximately one third of Simon Fraser’s new student admissions.
The reader should note at the outset that transfer students as defined in this report are
those students who were admitted to SFU on the basis of their work in a B.C. College.
This requires a minimum of a full year of transferable work and a minimum 2.00 GPA
admission average
A general overview of transfer students is presented, followed by an analysis of
academic performance at SFU and concluding with a look at students who graduated.
Inter-college comparisons are displayed and where appropriate, comparisons with
students admitted directly from B.C. secondary schools are provided.
Section A provides a general profile of transfer students by:
- College from which students transfer to SFU,
- Number of transfer credits students are admitted with,
- Number of credit hours students register for in their first semester,
- Faculty in which students intend to major,
- Degree goal or credential students pursue,
- Program(s) students pursue,
- Age upon admission to SFU, and
- Gender.
Section B presents academic performance indicators for transfer students by:
- Grade point average (GPA) upon admission through to graduation,
- Grade performance in selected courses at SFU compared to direct entry
students, and
- Degree completion rate.
In Section C, we examine for those transfer students who have graduated:
- Trends in GPA performance, from admission through to graduation,
- Distribution of programs from which they graduated,
- Distribution of credentials awarded, and
- Average number of semesters required to graduate.

DEFINITIONS
B.C. College transfer students in this report are defined as those admitted to Simon
Fraser University from 1991/92 to 1995/96 with a minimum of a full year of transferable
work, a minimum 2.00 GPA admission average, and who did not withdraw during their
first semester at SFU.
Not included in this report are statistics on 1,362 students who were admitted to SFU
from 1991/92 to 1995/96 with some transfer credit from one of the 17 B.C. Colleges,
but whose basis of admission was not TRANSFER FROM A B.C. COLLEGE. These
1,362 students represent about 14% by headcount and 6% by credit volume of all new
students who transferred at least one credit from a BC College to SFU. Most of these
students were admitted to SFU on the basis of their B.C. secondary school credentials,
mature student status, special entry status, or transfer from a University.
B.C. Direct Entry Grade 12’s are those students admitted to SFU on the basis of B.C.
secondary school completion and who entered SFU within one year of high school
graduation.
The student's B.C. College of transfer is deemed to be the institution from which the
most credits were transferred. 17 colleges are represented in this report and are
organized by region:
Northern B.C. - New Caledonia College, Northern Lights College and Northwest
Community College.
Interior/Kootenays - College of the Rockies, Okanagan University/College,
Selkirk
College and University/College of the Cariboo.
Vancouver Island - Camosun College, Malaspina University/College and
North
Island College.
Lower Mainland Public - Capilano College, Douglas College, Kwantlen
College, University/College of the Fraser Valley and Langara College.
Lower Mainland Private - Columbia College and Coquitlam College.
Several data files were extracted from the SFU Student Information System for the
analysis presented in this report. Appendix 1 documents the data definitions for these
files.

ANALYSIS
A. Profile of B.C. College Transfer Students
Over the five year period ending in the spring semester, 1996, a total of 8,684 students
were admitted to SFU from B.C. Colleges (36% of all new students admitted to SFU
during that time). As shown in Table 1, 79% of the transfer students came from public
lower mainland colleges, 7% came from the Interior/Kootenays, 5% from lower
mainland private colleges, 4% from Vancouver Island, and 4% from Northern B.C.
Figures 1 and 3 indicate that four lower mainland public colleges (Douglas, Kwantlen,
Langara and Capilano) provided SFU with three quarters of all transfer students.
Okanagan University College, who provided 3% of all transfer students to SFU, was the
largest source outside the lower mainland.
Figure 2 shows the distribution of transfer students admitted to SFU by college region
and year. Over the past five years, the number of B.C. college transfers has ranged
from a low of 1,475 in 1992/93 to a high of 2,256 in 1994/95. In 1995/96, there was a
sharp decline in the number of students admitted from B.C. colleges (31% decrease
over 1994/95). This was due to a reduction in admission quotas for all categories of
students as SFU attempted to reduce enrollments to conform with funded FTE targets.
The distribution of college transfers by region has changed over the past five years. In
1991/92 81.4% of transfer students came from the lower mainland. This increased to
87.6% in 1995/96.
B.C. College transfer students may transfer a maximum of 60 credits to SFU. Table 2
shows the distribution of transfer students by the number of credits transferred and by
college. 40% of students transfer between 30 and 44 credits, 56% transfer 45 or more
credits, and the remainder transfer fewer than 30 credits. This is roughly consistent
across colleges, with the exception of Lower Mainland private colleges in which fewer
credits were transferred (71% of private college students transferred between 30 and
44 credits to SFU).
As shown in Table 3, B.C. College transfer students were more likely to register for 9
credit hours in their first semester at SFU than any other number of credits, while B.C.
Grade 12 Direct Entry students were most likely to register for 12 credits. By defining a
full-time student as one who registers for 12 or more credits in a semester, we find that
32% of B.C. College transfer students over the past five years were full-time, compared
to 75% of B.C. Grade 12 Direct Entry students. In looking at the distribution of full-time
and part-time students by college region, we see that a much smaller proportion of
Lower Mainland students registered full-time (27%) than students from outside the
Lower Mainland (57%).
Upon admission to SFU, students specify their degree goal in one of five faculties (see
Table 4). With the Faculty of Arts being the largest, it is not surprising that 56% of B.C.
-6-
College transfers chose a credential in the Faculty of Arts. The second most popular
choice was in the Faculty of Business Administration (21%), followed by Applied
Sciences (8%), Education (8%) and Science (7%). By comparison, B.C. Grade 12
Direct Entry students were more inclined to enter the Sciences than transfer students.
By Faculty, B.C. Grade 12’s chose: Arts (40%), Science (24%), Applied Sciences
(16%), Business Administration (16%) and then Education (4%).
From 1991/92 to 1995/96, 8,684 transfer students sought 8,789 credentials (students
may pursue more than one credential). The top three most popular credentials chosen
as an initial degree goal were: Bachelor of Arts (55%), Bachelor of Business
Administration (21%) and Bachelor of Science (10%). See Table 5 for a distribution of
all credentials sought and the corresponding admission GPA.
Based on transferable college work, the average admission grade point average was
2.98 among college transfer students. Those intending to pursue a Bachelor of Applied
Science had the highest admission GPA at 3.33. Refer to Table 9 for a distribution of
all admission GPA’s for B.C. College transfers.
As students proceed through their education at SFU, they will declare one or more
major programs of study (see Table 6). Overall for the past five years, the top four
most popular majors of choice were: Business (14%), General Studies (12%),
Psychology (10%) and Education (10%). Business Administration was a popular choice
among students from each of the college regions, with the exception of Northern B.C.
where only 3% chose Business. Other popular majors of choice included Criminology
by students from Camosun and Malaspina Colleges and Economics by students from
Lower Mainland private colleges.
As shown in Table 7, 63% of B.C. college transfer students were aged 20 to 24 upon
admission to SFU, for an overall average age of 22.7. By comparison, 96% of B.C.
Grade 12 Direct Entry students were younger than 20, averaging age 18.0 upon
admission to SFU. By college region, the oldest students came from Northern B.C. with
an average age of 24.3 and the youngest came from Private Lower Mainland colleges
with an average age of 21.5.
In looking at the distribution of B.C. College transfer students by gender, over half
(57%) are females. By comparison 54% of B.C. Direct Entry Grade 12’s are female.
As shown in Table 8, the gender breakdown in each college region is roughly
consistent with the overall distribution, with the exception of Northern B.C., in which
70% of the transfers were female. The representation of females exceeds 50% in all
colleges except for Okanagan University College where 48% are females.

B. Academic Performance
While admission GPA’s by credential sought are shown in Table 5, the distribution of all
admission GPA’s is shown in Table 9. The average admission GPA was 2.98 and the
median (50th percentile) grade point average upon admission was 2.91. Of all B.C.
College transfers, 83% were admitted with a GPA of 2.50 or higher, 35% at 3.00 or
higher, 9% at 3.50 or higher and 1% at 4.00 or higher.
In Tables 10, 11A, 12, and 14, we show grade point averages and degree/credential
rates at the individual college level. The reader should note that in many cases, the
number of students from a particular institution is small and the corresponding GPAs or
rates, although accurate, are not statistically reliable as an indicator for the college.
Table 10 shows the academic performance of all 8,684 B.C. College transfer students
at four junctures in their education at SFU: (1) Admission, (2) completion of the first
SFU semester, (3) completion of 30 SFU credits, and (4) graduation from SFU. The
overall GPA’s at each these four time periods were 2.98, 2.50, 2.76 and 2.91
respectively.
Excluding colleges with fewer than 50 students represented, the highest grade point
averages were attained by: (1) Malaspina College, 3.10 upon admission; (2) Northern
Lights, 2.89 after the first semester; (3) New Caledonia College, 2.98 after 30 credit
hours; (4) University/College of the Fraser Valley, 3.11 upon graduation.
Table 11A provides information on the academic performance in selected courses. The
average grade received by all B.C. College transfers was consistently lower than the
grade received by B.C. Grade 12’s, except in a few courses (Cmns 215, Educ 230,
Educ 24, Fren 301 and Psyc 351). Out of the 45 courses selected for analysis,
students admitted from the University/College of the Fraser Valley received the highest
average grade in 62% of the courses.
Table 11B compares the admission GPA and course grade in the 200- and 300-level
courses taken by B.C. College transfer students and B.C. Direct Entry Grade 12
students. In looking at the most popular second- and third-year courses taken by
transfer students, the most common ones completed were: Buec 333, Psyc 201, Bus
237 and Buec 232. The average grade received by college transfers was lower than
the grade received by secondary school students. In the courses completed by at least
100 B.C. College transfer students, the average course grade was 2.66 for college
transfers and 2.86 for Direct Entry B.C. Grade 12's.
By following the academic performance of 3,006 B.C. College transfer students
admitted to SFU in 1991/92 and 1992/93 from admission through to graduation, it was
found that 92% completed at least 30 credit hours and 47% graduated with at least
one degree (see Table 12).
-8-
From this cohort, the colleges with a degree completion rate exceeding 60% included:
Coquitlam College (68%, N=65), Malaspina College (63%, N=72) and Okanagan
University/College (61%, N=143). All Northern B.C. Colleges had a degree completion
rate below 40%: Northern Lights (21%, N=19), Northwest Community College (25%,
N=32) and New Caledonia College (32%, N=88).
There is a positive relationship between the number of credits a student transferred to
SFU and the degree completion rate. The degree completion rate increased from a low
of 38% among those who transferred fewer than 30 credits to SFU, to a high of 52%
among those who transferred more than 55 credits.
As shown in Table 13, the 2,206 transfer students who graduated from SFU had a
graduation CGPA of 2.91, while 433 Direct Entry B.C. Grade 12’s had an SFU
graduation CGPA of 3.05. For the last 60 hours at SFU prior to graduation, the CGPA
was 2.93 for B.C. College transfer students and 3.15 for Direct Entry students. The
graduation GPA distributions are shown graphically in Figure 4.
C. Profile of Graduates:
While Table 10 showed the academic performance of all 8,684 transfer students, Table
14 shows the academic performance of only those 2,206 transfers who have
graduated. In looking at each of the four junctures in their SFU education, the average
GPA’s were: (1) 3.01 upon admission to SFU; (2) 2.74 after one semester at SFU;
(3) 2.82 after completing 30 credit hours at SFU, and ; (4) 2.91 upon graduation from
SFU. Upon comparison to the GPA’s for all transfer students (2.98, 2.50, 2.76 and
2.91) in Table 10, we note that students who have graduated have a consistently higher
performance than the cohort of graduates and non-graduates combined.
Excluding colleges with fewer than 50 students represented, the highest grade point
average at each of the four stages can be identified. Students from Okanagan
University College received the highest GPA upon admission (3.11). Students from
University/College of the Fraser Valley attained the highest GPA’s at the next three
stages: 3.00 after the first semester, 3.11 after 30 credit hours, and 3.11 upon
graduation.
Table 15 shows the distribution of programs from which B.C. College transfers
graduated. By comparing the four most popular programs from which students
graduated against the most commonly declared majors we see a similar match in the
distributions: Business Administration (14% declared, 17% graduated), Psychology
(10% declared, 11% graduated), Education (10% declared, 9% graduated) and
Economics (4% declared, 7% graduated). In the case of General Studies, however,
12% of students declared this program and only 6% of graduates received a General
Studies degree.
-9-
As shown in Table 16, of those college transfer students admitted to SFU from 1991/92
to 1995/96, a total of 2,363 students graduated with 2,743 credentials, of which 80%
were degrees, 12% were certificates and 8% were Professional Development Program
Certificates. Second degrees/certificates obtained subsequent to the first one were
excluded. The most common degrees which college transfers graduate with include:
Bachelor of Arts (51%), Bachelor of Business Administration (15%), Bachelor of
General Studies (5%) and Bachelor of Science (5%).
On average, B.C. College transfer students take 8.7 semesters to complete a degree,
as measured from time of admission to SFU until the semester of graduation from a
first degree (see Table 17). The shortest time to completion, 8.5 semesters, was
achieved by Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Business Administration graduates. The
longest time to completion was experienced by Bachelor of Applied Science graduates
at 13.0 semesters.

Notes:
a) Students are classified according to their initial degree goal upon admission to SFU.
b) A student initially pursuing more than one credential is reported once under each credential.
c) Additions/changes to degree goal(s) subsequent to the first semester at SFU are excluded.
(Previous editions of this report included all credentials sought over the five year period,
thus the number of PDP and certificate students reported this year is substantially lower).
d) Average admission GPA is based on college work.
