Part 1. Introduction

This report provides a profile of undergraduate transfer students admitted to the University of Northern British Columbia from British Columbia colleges over the five-year fiscal period, 2003- 04 to 2007-08 (Summer 2003 to Winter 2008). It includes a general profile of BC college transfer students, their academic performance while at UNBC, and a profile of those who completed a program at UNBC during that time period.

Throughout the report, regional comparisons are shown and, where appropriate, comparisons with students admitted from British Columbia high schools are provided. The report ends with a series of tables and figures that display the statistics.

This is the sequel report to “Profile of BC College Transfer Students and Profile of New Students Admitted to the University of Northern British Columbia from 1998-99 to 2002-03”.

Part 2. Definitions

Definitions of the terms used in this report are given below.

BC college transfer student A student admitted based on credits transferred to UNBC from a British Columbia college, British Columbia university college, or British Columbia specialized institution (see “Transfer institution”). Generally, a minimum of 15 credits of acceptable course work that was completed within the past 10 years must be presented. The minimum transfer cumulative grade point average (CGPA) required is 2.00 or C (65%), calculated on credits earned from all previous post-secondary institutions attended. Students may be eligible to receive up to 90 hours of transfer credit from a recognized sending institution. A BC college transfer student was enrolled on the official enrolment date in their first semester at UNBC. They may have also transferred credits from other post-secondary institutions, e.g. a BC university and/or an institution outside of British Columbia. These transfer credits were included.

Note: BC college transfer students who did not have an admission GPA or a transfer institution were excluded from this report.

BC high school student A student admitted on the basis of BC secondary school completion or one who was attending a BC high school when they applied to UNBC. They were enrolled on the official enrolment date in their first semester at UNBC.

Note: This report includes 2 students who were first admitted to UNBC as a BC high school student. Then several semesters later within the 5 year period of this report, they were admitted to UNBC as a BC college transfer student. These students were counted in both groups – as BC high school students and as BC college transfer students.

University of Northern British Columbia February 2009 Page 1 of 58

Completer, Degree completion, Average number of semesters to completion A completer was a graduate; a student who satisfactorily completed a UNBC baccalaureate degree and was awarded the credential. A student may have completed a different credential than the one in which they were initially enrolled.

When looking at degree completion rates, BC college transfer students who were admitted in 2003-04 and 2004-05 – the first 2 years of this report – were followed through from admission to completion (or graduation). This allowed enough time for these transfer students to complete their UNBC program within the 5-year time frame of this report.

The number of semesters completers were enrolled was calculated, then the cumulative average was computed to provide the average number of semesters to completion.

Note: This section of the report excluded 4 BC college transfer students who completed a certificate.

Course grade Students' final letter grades for each course were converted to grade point, as outlined in the scale below, then grade averages were calculated for each class level (see also “GPA”). Average grades for 400 level classes were not reported due to low enrolment.

letter grade grade point class level A+ 4.33 100 level courses numbered 100 to 199 A 4.00 200 level courses numbered 200 to 299 A- 3.67 300 level courses numbered 300 to 399 B+ 3.33 400 level excluded B 3.00 B- 2.67 C+ 2.33 C 2.00 C- 1.67 D+ 1.33 D 1.00 D- 0.67 F 0.00 NGR excluded P excluded W excluded WE excluded

Credential sought Undergraduate degree, or certificate, or diploma in which students were initially enrolled in their first semester. They may have completed a different credential than the one in which they were initially enrolled.

Credits Transferred All credits that BC college transfer students transferred to UNBC were included – from BC colleges and from other post-secondary institutions, e.g. BC universities, institutions outside of British Columbia. For the purposes of this report, the student’s transfer institution was the one

University of Northern British Columbia February 2009 Page 2 of 58 in British Columbia from which the most credits were transferred at admission. All credits transferred were then attributed to this institution.

GPA (Grade Point Average) GPA is a method of expressing a student's academic performance as a numerical value. It is calculated from grades received in courses. In this report, GPA is shown at 4 points in time – upon admission, after first semester, after the student completed 30 credits, and at completion (see also Course grade).

Program of study At UNBC, some programs contain more than one undergraduate major (or specific area of study), e.g. the Business program includes Accounting, Finance, General Business, International Business, and Marketing. A student may declare a different major at any time during their enrolment at UNBC, and may consequently change their program of study.

Semester, Average number of credits per semester UNBC operates on a 3 semester system. A fiscal year includes Summer semester, Fall semester, and Winter semester. Undergraduate students’ normal enrolment year is 2 semesters of attendance.

The number of credits per semester was summed for all of the courses that each student was enrolled in and then the cumulative average was computed.

Student status Full-time status was assigned to undergraduate students enrolled in 12 or more credits in a semester.

Transfer institution In the five-year time period of this report, BC college transfer students were admitted to UNBC from 20 different institutions. The institutions were organized into regions by their location in British Columbia. For the purposes of this report, the student’s transfer institution was the one from which the most credits were transferred at admission. All credits transferred were then attributed to this institution. Many BC college students transferred credits from more than one institution.

In the past 5 years, several of the transfer institutions became universities with subsequent name changes. Students admitted to UNBC as a university transfer student were excluded from this report. The region, former and current names of transfer institutions, and the name used in this report are in the following table.

Part 3. Analyses

3.1 Profile of BC College Transfer Students During the five-year period from Summer 2003 to Winter 2008, a total of 1,760 students were admitted to UNBC on the basis of transferring credits from a BC college. In comparison, a total of 2,196 students from BC high schools were admitted. Tables and Figures in the 3.1 series display the statistics.

3.1.1 Transfer Institution and Fiscal Year of Admission (Table 3.1.1, Figure 3.1.1) On average, about 350 students were admitted to UNBC from BC colleges each year, ranging from a low of 255 in 2007-08 to a high of 406 in 2004-05.

The recent decrease in the number of BC college transfer students admitted to UNBC may be attributed to the greater number of universities in British Columbia, a drop in the minimum required entry grade at some institutions, and a reduction in the number of students at BC colleges.

University of Northern British Columbia February 2009 Page 4 of 58

The majority of transfer students (70%) came from Northern BC colleges, with 54% coming from College of New Caledonia. The second largest group (19%) of transfer students came from colleges in the Lower Mainland, with another 7% from Interior/Kootenays, and 4% from Vancouver Island.

From 2002-03 to 2007-08, those coming from Northern BC colleges increased from 61% to 78% with consequent reductions from other college regions, especially the Lower Mainland.

3.1.2 Transfer Credits at Admission (Table 3.1.2, Figure 3.1.2) Over the past 5 years, BC college transfer students transferred an average of 49 credits to UNBC. This is equivalent to 1.63 years of UNBC undergraduate work.

The number of credits transferred ranged from less than 15 to more than 91.

On average, students from Northern BC colleges transferred the most credits (49), while students from Interior/Kootenays colleges transferred the least credits (43).

3.1.3 Credits Taken in First Semester and Student Status in First Semester (Table 3.1.3A, Figure 3.1.3A, Table 3.1.3B, Figure 3.1.3B) At UNBC, a full-time undergraduate student is enrolled in 12 or more credits in a semester. In their first semester at UNBC, the typical BC college transfer student was part-time and enrolled in 10 credits. Slightly more than half (52%) of transfer students were part-time.

Students from Northern BC colleges were less likely to be enrolled full-time (42%) in their first semester at UNBC. Two-thirds (66%) of those from the Lower Mainland were enrolled full-time.

In comparison, most (83%) BC high school students were enrolled full-time, taking an average of 13 credits in their first semester.

3.1.4 Credential Sought in First Semester (Table 3.1.4, Table 3.1.4B, Figure 3.1.4B) The top 5 most popular credentials sought are shown below.

Top 5 Credentials Sought BC college transfer BC high school # 1 Bachelor of Commerce 24% Bachelor of Science 33% # 2 Bachelor of Science 23% Bachelor of Arts 22% # 3 Bachelor of Arts 19% Bachelor of Commerce 11% # 4 Bachelor of Arts General 8% Bachelor of Arts General 10% # 5 Bachelor of Social Work 8% Bachelor of Science General 8%

Credentials sought were not consistent across college regions. Students from Northern BC and Lower Mainland colleges were initially enrolled in programs leading to a Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Science. More than one-third of students who transferred from Interior/Kootenays (37%) colleges and Vancouver Island (36%) colleges were enrolled in Bachelor of Science.

Students from BC high schools in the Interior/Kootenays and Vancouver Island had a similar pattern of enrolment in credential sought as did their BC college transfer counterparts. High school students from Lower Mainland and Northern BC regions were less likely to be enrolled in Bachelor of Commerce than their BC college transfer counterparts.

University of Northern British Columbia February 2009 Page 5 of 58

3.1.5 Program of Study in First Semester (Table 3.1.5, Figure 3.1.5) The top 5 programs in which students were initially enrolled are displayed below.

Top 5 Programs of Study BC college transfer BC high school # 1 Business 24% Undeclared 14% # 2 General Arts 9% General Arts 12% # 3 Nursing 8% Business 11% # 4 Social Work 8% ESM Biology 10% # 5 Psychology 6% General Science 8%

The most popular program with BC college transfer students from all regions was Business (chosen by 24%). The next most popular programs for students from Northern BC colleges were Nursing (10%) and Social Work (11%). Students from Interior/Kootenays were more inclined to declare ESM Biology (13%); those who transferred from Lower Mainland institutions were more likely to take General Arts or Psychology; and those from Vancouver Island colleges were more likely to declare General Arts or Geography.

Students from BC high schools did not declare a program (14%), or chose General Arts (12%), Business (11%), or ESM Biology (10%).

3.1.6 Age (Table 3.1.6, Figure 3.1.6) On the official start day of their first semester, BC college transfer students at UNBC were an average of 26.2 years old. About one-half (51%) were in the age range of 20 to 24 years.

Students who entered UNBC from a BC high school were about 8 years younger on average at 18.6 years old.

The oldest BC college transfer students came from Northern BC with an average age of 27.0 years; the youngest came from Lower Mainland colleges with an average age of 24.1 years.

3.1.7 Gender (Table 3.1.7, Figure 3.1.7) Sixty-four percent (64%) of BC college transfer students to UNBC were female.

By college region, the proportion of female transfer students ranged from a low of 47% from Lower Mainland colleges to a high of 69% from Northern BC colleges.

In comparison, there were fewer female students from BC high schools (57%).

3.2 Academic Performance of BC College Transfer Students Academic performance is reported via GPA (Grade Point Average) at four points in time – upon admission to UNBC, after first semester, after the student completed 30 UNBC credits, and at completion. Tables and Figures in the 3.2 series display the statistics.

3.2.1 Admission GPA (Table 3.2.1, Figure 3.2.1) The average admission GPA of BC college transfer students was 3.03; the median (50th percentile) GPA was 3.01. This is equivalent to a B average at UNBC.

In comparison, BC high school students’ admission GPA was higher at 3.51 (or A-).

University of Northern British Columbia February 2009 Page 6 of 58

3.2.2 Academic Performance (Table 3.2.2, Figure 3.2.2) The average GPA at four points in time while at UNBC is summarized below for BC college transfer students and for BC high school students.

Academic Performance – GPA BC college BC high Time transfer School 1 – at admission 3.03 3.51 2 – after first semester 2.84 2.51 3 – after 30 credits 2.92 2.72 4 – at completion 3.14 3.35

From admission to end of first semester at UNBC, GPA dropped for both groups of students. BC high school students’ GPA dropped substantially from 3.51 to 2.51 (or A- to C+). After completing 30 UNBC credits, both transfer and high school students’ GPAs increased; high school students had a greater increase than transfer students. BC high school students that completed a program had a higher GPA than transfer completers.

Transfer students from Northern BC colleges entered UNBC with a higher GPA than other transfer students. They also achieved a higher GPA after first semester, after 30 credits, and at completion than other transfer students. Transfer students from Lower Mainland colleges had the lowest admission GPA. Those from Interior/Kootenays colleges completed with the lowest admission GPA.

3.2.3 Grades in Selected Courses (Table 3.2.3A, Table 3.2.3B, Appendix A) Tables in the 3.2.3 series show the average course grades for selected subjects and class levels that BC college transfer students achieved. These courses were selected because many BC college transfer students were enrolled in them. Class level was based on course number; 400 level courses were excluded due to low enrolment. Grades for less than 5 students were not reported, but were used to calculate totals.

Each student may have been enrolled in none, or one, or several courses at the same class level, e.g. ENGL 102, and ENGL 103, and ENGL 170. Students’ grades for each course were used in calculating the average course grade for each subject and class level.

The subjects and class levels in which transfer students out-performed high school students are shown in Table 3.2.4B with a comparison of the average grades achieved. Appendix A displays a list of the courses included in each subject and class level.

Although BC high school students had higher admission GPAs for every subject and course level, sometimes they were out-performed by BC college transfer students. Transfer students achieved higher grades in social science types of subjects, e.g. Anthropology, Commerce, First Nations Studies, Political Science, and Psychology, and higher grades usually at 100 and 200 class levels. BC high school students achieved higher grades in “hard science” subjects – Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

3.2.4 Degree Completion Rate (Table 3.2.4) BC college transfer students who were admitted in 2003-04 and 2004-05 were followed through from admission to completion (or graduation). This allowed enough time for these 779 transfer

University of Northern British Columbia February 2009 Page 7 of 58 students to complete a UNBC program. Only those who received a Bachelor’s credential were included.

Following the first 2 years of BC college transfer students from admission through to completion resulted in 59% completing a UNBC credential by Summer 2008. Those who transferred more than 30 credits were more likely to complete a Bachelor’s degree – their completion rate ranged from 56% for those who transferred 31 to 45 credits, to 79% for those who transferred more than 90 credits.

Transfer students from Lower Mainland colleges had the highest degree completion rate at 67%; those from Interior/Kootenays colleges had the lowest at 49%.

3.3. Profile of BC College Transfer Students Who Completed a Program This section presents a brief profile of the 664 transfer students admitted to UNBC in all 5 years from 2003-04 to 2007-08 who completed a baccalaureate degree by Summer 2008. Tables and Figures in the 3.3 series display the statistics.

3.3.1 Academic Performance of Completers (Table 3.3.1, Figure 3.3.1) The academic performance at four points in time for all BC college transfer students (entire 5 year period) who completed a Bachelor’s degree program is summarized below.

Academic Performance – GPA all BC college BC college Time transfer transfer students completers 1 – at admission 3.03 3.05 2 – after first semester 2.84 3.01 3 – after 30 credits 2.92 3.03 4 – at completion 3.14 3.14

The same pattern is seen with the academic performance of transfer completers compared to the academic performance of all transfer students – their GPA dropped after the first semester, increased after 30 credits, and increased again by completion. However, transfer completers had a higher GPA at admission, after first semester, and after 30 credits compared to all BC college transfer students.

And like the pattern with all transfer students, transfer completers from Northern BC colleges had higher GPAs at all four points in time compared to other transfer completers.

3.3.2 Credentials Awarded (Table 3.3.2, Figure 3.3.2) Of the 1,760 BC college transfers who started at UNBC during 2003-04 to 2007-08, a total of 664 (or 38%) completed a Bachelor’s degree by Summer 2008. The 5 most common credentials awarded were:

Top 5 Credentials Awarded BC college transfer # 1 Bachelor of Commerce 31% # 2 Bachelor of Science 21% # 3 Bachelor of Arts 20% # 4 Bachelor of Social Work 16% # 5 Bachelor of Science in Nursing 9%

University of Northern British Columbia February 2009 Page 8 of 58

On average, BC college transfer completers took 6.34 semesters to finish a Bachelor’s degree. Given that undergraduate students’ normal enrolment year is 2 semesters of attendance at UNBC, this is equivalent to 3.17 years of elapsed time. The shortest average time to completion, 5.80 semesters or 2.90 years, was achieved by those who were awarded a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

3.3.3 Program Completed (Table 3.3.3) The top 5 most popular programs that BC college transfer students completed were:

Top 5 Programs Completed BC college transfer # 1 Business 31% # 2 Social Work 16% # 3 Nursing 9% # 4 Psychology 7% # 5 English 6%

In general, the distribution of BC college transfer students’ program in their first semester of enrolment was similar to those who completed a program.

Transfer students from Northern BC primarily completed a Social Work (23.7%) or Business (23.5%) program. Students from the Lower Mainland completed a Business program (50.3%).
