IntroductionThis report represents the third comprehensive profile of the more than eight thousand studentswho entered UBC as college transfer students over a multi-year period (in this study, between1994/95 and 1999/00).
Although this report covers a six-year period, we have divided the data where necessary intotwo tables covering five years each; this grouping allows for ready comparison to the five-yearreports previously undertaken. Our analysis of tables concerns itself with the most recent five-year period, 1995/96 to 1999/00, unless we are discussing six years’ worth of data.
These reports were begun two years ago at the behest of the British Columbia Council onAdmissions and Transfer and were modeled on a similar study first completed by Simon FraserUniversity in October 1996. Hence report designs and definitions were, when possible, intendedfor comparison with the SFU study.
The data for this study pertains to 8,086 students who were admitted to faculties at UBC on thebasis of admission “College Transfer.” Some students with college transfer credit are admittedon the basis of their high school performance instead; this study does not identify such studentsas “College Transfer,” but as “High School Admissions.”
If a College Transfer student has attended more than one college, we deem the college oftransfer to be that institution from which most credits were transferred.
The twenty one colleges, university colleges, and technical institutes represented in this reportare organized by geographical regions within British Columbia. Colleges with fewer than 5students transferring to UBC (Northern Lights College, Nicola Valley Institute of Technology)have been included in “Other or Unknown.”
Note also that the total number of college transfer students (and, for comparison, high schooladmissions) varies among tables. This is due mainly to variations in the size of the examinedcohort (e.g., a smaller number graduate than are admitted).
Executive SummaryTable 1: The overwhelming majority of college transfers to UBC come from the Lower Mainland(79% in the most recent year); this proportion has significantly increased between 1995/96 and1996/97 and has remained fairly constant in the years to 1999/00. Increases in enrolment atthe recently founded UNBC perhaps contribute to the decline in numbers of students fromoutside the Lower Mainland seeking to further their studies at UBC.
Transfers to UBC are most frequently from Langara, Capilano, Kwantlen, and Douglas colleges,who contributed 70% of all college transfer students in 1999/00.
Table 2: Transfer students arrive with varying amounts of credit, but only 29% of studentscame with 55 credits or more (in the most recent 5 years of our study). 60 credits wouldamount to two years of full-time study.
Table 3: Transfer students are less likely than high school admissions to undertake a full load ofcourses.
Page 6 of 63
Table 4: Most transfer students enrol in the Faculties of Arts or Science (65% of students); thiscompares with 78% of High School Admissions.
Table 5: Transfer students pursuing Rehabilitation Medicine (Occupational/Physical Therapy) orPharmacy have the highest average admission grades.
Table 6: The most popular programs for transfer students are Human Kinetics and Biology,although choices are diverse. The 10 most popular programs only account for 23% of transferstudents (although some students are as yet undeclared).
Table 7: 89% of students transferring to UBC are aged 20 or older; only 5% of high schooladmissions are as old.
Table 8: On average more females than males transfer to UBC (mirroring high schoolproportions); slightly more men than women originate from colleges outside the LowerMainland.
Table 9: 75% of college transfers enter UBC with an admission percentage grade of 75% orless.
Table 10: Students usually receive grades at the end of their first year which are below theiradmission average, but over time they tend to make up the loss.
Table 11: There is no significant difference in the academic performance of students fromwithin or without the Lower Mainland; high school students, however, outperform transferstudents in all the selected courses save for economics. Transfer students received grades thaton average were anywhere from 3 to 8 percentage points lower than those earned by highschool admissions.
Table 12: 79% of students who transferred in 94/95 or 95/96 completed their degree duringthe time frame of this study.
Table 13: On average, graduating students admitted from high school achieve better grades intheir final session than do graduating students who transferred from college (76% vs. 74%).
Table 14: Students tend to receive first year grades which are lower than their admissionaverage, but by the time they graduate they have usually made up the loss.
Table 15: Graduating students most frequently had enrolled in Human Kinetics or Biology, themost popular programs of study (see Table 6).
Table 16: The most popular degree programs were the B.A. and B.Sc., which account for 58%of transfer students who graduated. Transfer students took an average 2.8 winter sessions tocomplete their degree; this average would perforce increase if we extended the timeframe ofour study.

Table 1: Year of AdmissionUBC admits each year between 1,112 and 1,527 students who transfer from B.C. colleges. HighSchool entries account for more than twice as many admissions.
The majority of college transfer students come to UBC from lower mainland colleges (78.9% in1999/00), with only 3.1% of this figure coming from private institutions. Non lower mainlandcolleges comprise some 17.7% of UBC’s college transfer admissions. The remaining 3.3% comefrom the Open University or other/unknown colleges.
Langara College (formerly a campus of Vancouver Community College) supplies UBC with morecollege transfer students than any other institution. In 1999/00 414 Langara students enteredUBC, representing 34% of the lower mainland group. This number has remained relativelystable.
Overall, 54.9% of all college transfers to UBC are from three lower mainland colleges: Langara,Capilano, and Kwantlen. From outside the lower mainland, the largest number of transferscome from Okanagan University College, with 450 students over six years (28.0% of the nonlower mainland number, and 5.6% of the total). The Northern B.C. colleges provided, onaverage, only 2.4% of the total transfer students over the six-year span.

Table 3a: Workload in 1st Year at UBCTransfers from Northern BC colleges had on average large workloads (29% taking 31 or morecredits, and 74% taking 25 or more). Lower Mainland transfers took the lightest loads, withonly 13% enrolled in 31 or more credits and 49% taking 25 or more.
The differences between transfers and high school admissions is marked: high school admissionsare much more likely to maintain a heavy workload, with 84% of students taking 25 or morecredits. This compares with 52% of college transfers.

Table 3b: Full-Time/Part-Time StatusUBC considers students taking 24 or more credits to be full-time.
As in table 3a (workload), high school admissions enrol in more courses (93.3% are full-time)than college transfer students (69.4%).
Institutions from outside the lower mainland show a slightly higher percentage (78.6%) of full-time students than do those from the lower mainland (67.4%), with College of New Caledoniastudents being the highest at 86.5%.
While Emily Carr students appear to have a light course load, these figures should beinterpreted with caution: this institution sends very small numbers to UBC, and is not typical ofthe average transfer college.
(The table for 1995/96-1999/00 is followed by one for 1994/95-1998/99; the analysis above pertains tothe most recent table.)

Table 7: Age at AdmissionIt should come as no surprise that college transfer students tend to be older than high schooladmissions. While 95.5% of high school admissions are under the age of 20 at the time of entry,the largest cohort for college transfer students is aged 20-24 (68.0%).
(The table for 1995/96-1999/00 is followed by one for 1994/95-1998/99; the analysis above pertains tothe most recent table.)

Table 9: Admission Percentages 1994/95-1999/00The admission percentages shown are derived by conversion from the 4 point scale (used bymost colleges) to the equivalent percentage stored on UBC records. The minimum averagerequired for admission to UBC, 2.00, is converted to a value of 60%. Note that minimumrequirements vary by faculty, program, and year level (see Appendix-Admission Requirements).
The percentages are those associated with the most recent institution attended, hence forstudents who attended more than one previous institution, the percentage shown may not havebeen the only criterion for admission. Only 20 students (0.36%) show percentages below theminimum required.
The median of 72.6% would correspond to slightly under a 3.0 grade point average. Seventy-five percent of all college transfers are admitted with a percentage of 75 or less, (equivalent to agrade point average of 3.20).

Table 10: Performance by SessionThe academic performance (i.e. percentage grade earned) of BC college transfers is shown atfour distinct points in the students’ academic progression.
Transfer students, on average, experience a decrease in measured academic performance intheir first and second years at UBC relative to their entry grades. By the end of their lastsession, this drop has been completely recovered and exceeds average performance atadmission.
By the end of the first session, grades have dropped further for non lower mainland students(-5.6 percentage points) than for lower mainland students (only -2.5 percentage points.)Students tend to recover grades in their second session, and by their last session, averagegrades have neared or exceeded admission GPA levels.
Exceptions to this progression include students from College of the Rockies (a 5.7 percentagepoint drop from admission % to last session average), North Island College (-4.2), andCoquitlam College (-3.4). The biggest gains over admission average were made by studentsfrom the Open University (3.7) and Emily Carr (3.3).

Table 11: Grades in Selected CoursesWe selected those courses from a variety of programs in which college transfer students werehighly enrolled.
Little can be said by comparing the high school admission average to the college transferaverage since these are not on comparable scales. Once both groups of students are atuniversity, however, their subsequent performance can be compared: high school studentsoutperform transfer students in all the selected courses save for economics. Transfer studentsreceived grades that on average were anywhere from 3 to 8 percentage points lower than thoseearned by high school admissions.
There is no significant difference in average performance (in these courses) between studentsfrom either main geographical division.
To protect privacy, when fewer than 5 students from a college have taken a course, theiraverage admission and course grades are not shown (replaced with ‘X’).
Note: Due to systems problems the admission GPA for students in 1995 and 1997 have beenomitted from this table.

Table 12: Degree Completion RatesThe more transfer credits students have upon admission, the closer they are to completion—andtherefore that much more likely to complete during the course of this study.
In this table we look at only those students who transferred into UBC in 1994/95 or 1995/96,i.e. those that have had 5 or 6 years to complete their degree. Students with fewer than 30credits are less likely to graduate within the five to six years (only 57.1% have done so). Withmore credits, degree completion rates improve: 87.9% of students who transferred with 55 ormore credits have graduated.

III. Profile of BC College Transfer StudentsWho Have Graduated
Page 49 of 63
Table 13: Average for Last Session Attended 1994/95-1999/00
(students who have graduated)
UBC does not compute a cumulative GPA for its completing students; we do, however, have anaverage for the last session attended. Looking at the last session average has some drawbacks(e.g., it fails to permit ready comparisons to other universities’ data) but it has one significantadvantage, in that it is untainted by the substantially lower early grades received by transferstudents in their first and second years at UBC (as shown in Table 10: Performance bySession).
The average grades for college transfer students and high school admissions upon degreecompletion are 76.0% and 78.1% respectively; 44.0% of high school admissions have a sessionaverage of 80% or more, compared with 32.6% of college transfers.
The last session averages show that for students who persist in their studies and obtain adegree, the college transfer route is neither markedly better nor worse in terms of academicachievement than direct entry from high school. Both routes to a baccalaureate degree areequally viable.
Over the course of this study, 44.1% of college transfer students to UBC have graduated; only26.7% of high school admissions did so (high school admissions typically arrive with no transfercredits, unlike the transfer students who come with a year or two of study behind them).
Note: Students with a 0.00% at the time of the study conclusion (exchange students, guidedindependent study students, e.g.) have not been included.

Table 14: Performance by Session 1994/95-1999/00
(students who have graduated)
Transfer students on average received somewhat lower grades at the end of their 1st sessionthan they had been admitted with. This decrease was higher for non lower mainland students (-1.9 percentage points) than for lower mainland students (-0.3).
Average grades increase for all students between first and final session: lower mainlandstudents experience a 3.0 point rise, while non lower mainland student improved their grades byan average 5.1 percentage points.
The most improvement was made by Open University students, gaining 11.7 percentage pointsby the end of first session, increasing to a total 19.2 point gain by last session—thus graduatingwith average grades higher than those of lower mainland transfers (whose average admissionGPA was almost 14 points higher).

Table 16: Credential Awardedand Average Winter Sessions to Completion
(students who have graduated)
42% of graduating college transfer students attained a B.A. degree, 16% a B.Sc., 9% a B.Com,and another 9% a B.HK. Graduates of all other degree programs combined account for theremaining 24% of students.
The Winter Session at UBC comprises the academic year from September through to thefollowing April. The measure “average number of winter sessions” is roughly equivalent to thenumber of years taken to complete the degree (although some students do attend in summer).On average, transfer students took 2.8 Winter sessions to complete the degree. As aconsequence of the brief time frame of this study, only full-time transfer students have (thusfar) completed their degrees, and we know college transfer students are more likely to be part-time.
The average time to completion, as well as the total degrees completed, would naturallyincrease should we follow these cohorts for several more years.

V. GlossaryB.C. High School admission: a student admitted to a UBC faculty on the basis of high schoolcompletion. Such a student may also have credit from a college towards a degree, but the grades onwhich the admission is granted are from the high school records.
College Transfer Student: a student admitted to a UBC faculty on the basis of a minimum of 24credits obtained at one or more colleges in transferable courses. Students must have a minimumgrade point average of 2.00, but individual faculties may, as a consequence of enrolment quotas, seta higher admission standard.
College of Transfer: the college of transfer, if the student has attended more than one college, isthat institution from which most credits were transferred.
Degree completion: a student is defined as having completed a degree in either May or Novemberof the year if the student has applied to graduate and has successfully completed the degreerequirements. The date at which a student is recorded as having completed the degree may not bethe date at which the student has completed all course requirements. Many students continue toenroll in courses without obtaining a degree for some time.
Degrees and programs of study: A degree program consists of a degree, as well as a programwithin that degree. For example, students may choose the Bachelor of Arts degree, and theEconomics program within that faculty.
Full-time and part-time: a full-time student is defined as a student enrolling in 24 or more creditsin the Winter Session. A student enrolling in less than 24 credits is defined as part-time. The typicalUBC program (e.g. B.A. Arts) would require a student to register in 30 credits for each of four Wintersessions, although some programs require more than 30 credits per session.
Grading systems: UBC grades are expressed as a percentage. College students are admitted on thebasis of a four point scale. For a comparison of averages (see Table 10) grade points have beenmapped to percentage points, but it is a rough conversion: inferences drawn from this table shouldnot be given the same weight as others.
Last Session: the last session (if not a first or second session) attended by each student during thetime-frame of the study regardless of graduation.
Session: grade and year level data for this report is based on enrolment in the UBC Winter sessiononly, which begins in September and ends in April of the following year. The session is divided intotwo terms, but some courses may span both terms. The term “year” is also used interchangeablywith “session.”
Transfer credit: credit toward a degree program at UBC based on courses successfully completed ata college.
Unclassified students: Students who are registered at UBC, but have not been admitted to adegree program in a particular faculty.
