Upcoming PCCAT survey

I am writing to give you a heads-up about an upcoming survey that will be sent to the registrars of public universities at the end of October 2011. This short survey is being developed by the Research Sub- Committee of the Pan-Canadian Consortium on Admissions and Transfer (PCCAT). The Association of Registrars of the Universities and Colleges of (ARUCC) is one of the sponsors of this research project and is represented on the Research Sub-Committee by Kate Ross, Registrar and Executive Director, Student Enrolment at and Chair of ARUCC’s research committee. The Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC) is also a sponsor of the project.

The main purpose of the survey is to determine the extent of student mobility and transfer of undergraduate students from all public postsecondary institutions in Canada to all public universities in Canada and across provincial/territorial boundaries over three academic years (2007-08 to 2009-10). Thus the focus is on inter- rather than intra-provincial transfer. The survey will require institutions to do some analysis of their administrative databases in order to answer the questions. The questions will involve information on the numbers of students moving across provincial boundaries, whether they received transfer credit, their age and gender, the province and institution that they moved from, and program enrolled in at the receiving institution. A question will also be asked about institutions’ capacity, in the future, to report on potential additional data elements related to transfer.

A second part of the survey will be directed to Ontario universities and degree-granting colleges only, to determine intra-provincial transfer as well. This second component is supported by Ontario’s College University Consortium Council (CUCC) and the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario (HEQCO), and will ask institutions to respond to the same questions with regard to intra-provincial transfer.

A list of the universities that will be asked to respond to this survey is attached. We encourage your institution to participate in this important project by dedicating time to fill out the survey. The result will be a national report that will be prepared in English and French and shared with all ARUCC members. If you have any questions about the upcoming survey, please contact Nick Heath, the project coordinator, at [email protected]. Thank you.
