  • Show Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the number of credits earned at graduation for two groups: those who graduated with a baccalaureate degree and who were admitted as transfer students and those admitted as secondary school students to one of the four BC research universities [Simon Fraser University (SFU), University of British Columbia, Vancouver (UBC), University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) and University of Victoria (UVic)].

Designation as a Receiving Institution in the BC Transfer Guide: Policy and Process

The Recalibrating the BC Transfer System project initiated in 2005 proposed that the designation of institutions in the BC Transfer Guide as either "sending institution" or "receiving institution," according to their perceived primary function, should be examined. The results of the consultation indicated overwhelming support (94%) for removing the restrictions on designation, and providing an environment whereby each institution can undertake its own evaluation of which designations best fit its situation, goals and business practices. This document establishes a structure to facilitate the implementation of the recommendation to liberalize access to the receiving institution designation. NOTE: A future policy will outline the process for adding the sending institution designation.

EducationPlanner.ca: An External Review

The Education Planner website provides a searchable database of approximately 1,700 undergraduate postsecondary programs in B.C. It is intended as a "onestart entry point" for students looking for postsecondary options. The site also provides information for professionals who work with students. The site is maintained and updated on a regular basis by the BC Council on Admissions and Transfer (BCCAT). Funding is provided by the Ministry of Advanced Education and Labour Market Development. In 2007 the Admissions Committee of BCCAT recommended that an independent review of Education Planner should be undertaken to determine its overall effectiveness, and to serve as an accountability mechanism to government. The following report is the results of the external review by Al Atkinson.
