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

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.
