Findings from the "2011 Diploma, Associate Degree, and Certificate Student Outcomes (DACSO)" survey indicate that the BC credit transfer system continues to work well for the large majority of students who use it. This short report focusses on the survey respondents who expected to transfer credits and the reasons some respondents did not receive all transfer credits expected. For the small number of students reporting dissatisfaction with their transfer experience, their reasons for dissatisfaction as well as suggestions for improvements are identified.
This study profiles the admission and transfer experiences of about 5500 students who continued their studies in BC's public post-secondary system after having participated in either an Arts and Science or an Applied program in a college, teaching-intensive university, or institute. The report is based on input received from former students through the 2011 Diploma, Associate Degree, and Certificate Student Outcomes (DACSO) Survey and includes comparisons with findings from the 2002, 2005 and 2008 surveys. (A Research Results summary is available at www.bccat.ca/pubs/rr_mar12.pdf.)
This Research Results is an 8 page summary of the full report "2011 Admissions and Transfer Experiences of Students Continuing their Post-Secondary Studies in BC" which can be found at bccat.ca/pubs/bcstats11.pdf.

- Special Report: Transfer Credit Appeals in BC Post-Secondary Institutions
-
This newsletter describes policy and process steps related to the ability of students to appeal credit transfer decisions in BC Transfer System institutions. The document was developed in consultation with a representative working group drawing members from diverse BC post-secondary institutions. Although appeals policy is exclusively within the purview of autonomous institution, system partners have identified issues in this area that impact student planning and access. This paper presents the key observations of the Working Group and the constituent groups it consulted and suggests possible process and policy steps that might improve students' ability to access a transfer credit appeal process within institutions.
