A recent report cdi: en sexe aa *
us with some information on the per-

formance of our students after trans-
fer to UEC.

Following are some excerpts and same
observations:

1. The mean College GPA of students
from all colleges has remained
relatively constant over the
past 5 years rangin from 2.76 in
1976-77 to a high of 2.81 in (1978-
79. In 1980-81 it was 2.77.

Over this same 5 year period, the
mean GPA of students transferring

from cores aa has ae a

 

 

eee to 2. 87. in "1980-81. ‘At

- that level, it could be said that
students who transfer from Douglas
to UBC have a "B" average.

2. Given the high GPA of Douglas
College students who transfer to
UBC it is not surprising that the
proportion of students from
Douglas College who achieve a
First Class standing is 3% above
the 1980-81 provincial mean of 5%.
While Douglas students rank at the
provincial mean in Second Class
and Pass categories, the combined
category of Fail and Withdrew
shows Douglas College 4% above the
provincial mean.

3. In 1980-81, only 48.5% of the
college students at UBC completed
a full programme. Despite the
higher GPA, only 41% of Douglas
students completed the full prog-
ranmme. On the other hand, the

prox incial figure for partial credit

 

was 33.2% and for combined failures
and withdrawals was 18.3% with the

4, When the Douglas College

 

corr ading Douglas figures at

278 and 18% respectively. It
would seem that a category "other",

_ with 163 of the Douglas transfers,
accounts for a rather substantial
number of | people. When reassigned
to the other categories, signifi-
‘cant changes could aie The
"other" category includes students
auditing courses, medical deferments,
missing grades, etc.
