*The cohort of eligible to graduate grade 12 students includes those students deemed eligible to graduate because they have enrolled in sufficient courses to meet the requirements to graduate during that school year. This construct is distinct from the six year completion cohort. Please refer to the Ministry of Education's K‐12 glossary for definitions. 

Students who did not transition to post‐secondary education after grade 12 graduation, or who enrolled in a B.C. private or non‐B.C. institution are not accounted for in this chart.  For comparison, the immediate entry transition rate of the 2013/14 graduation cohort is also provided to show that immediate‐entry transition rates have increased in most regions, compared to the 2004/05 graduation cohort; and transition rates across regions tend to fluctuate around the average immediate‐entry transition rate for the province overall (currently 52% per year). This information is based on March 6, 2016 data from the Student Transitions Project, November 2015 data submission.

Non‐AboriginalStudents

Assuming we start with 100 Aboriginal students and 100 non‐Aboriginal students, subsequent student counts are inferred* from the portion of students who graduated in 2009/2010 within six years of entering grade 8 (51 percent of Aboriginal and 82 percent of non‐Aboriginal students); and from the five‐year transition rate of 2009/2010 high school graduates to post‐secondary education  (67 percent of Aboriginal and 73 percent of non‐Aboriginal students). 

For example, 51 x 67% = 34 Aboriginal students; and  82 x 73% = 60 non‐Aboriginal students from the original cohort of 100 grade 8 students enrolled in B.C. public post‐secondary education within five years of grade 12 graduation (by academic year 2014/2015).

Although the five‐year post‐secondary transition rates of the grade 12 graduation cohorts are similar (67 percent Aboriginal and 73 percent non‐Aboriginal students), the higher attrition rate of Aboriginal students between grade 8 and grade 12 subsequently results in roughly half as many Aboriginal students from the grade 8 cohort enrolling in B.C. public post‐secondary education (34 versus 60).

* This inference is approximate because data is drawn from two different populations ‐‐ grade 8 entrants who graduated by 2009/10; and eligible grade 12 graduates who graduated in 2009/2010).

(among those eligible*) who achieve high Academic GPA's (of 75% or higher).

High Achievers are determined from the student's academic GPA at the time of graduation.  Students are classified by the STP as "high achievers" if their academic GPA is 75 percent or higher.  Academic GPA is  the average of four academic grade 12 course grades: blended grades in English 12 and the student’s best school grades in three other academic subjects. Blended English 12 grades are a 40‐60 percent blend of provincial exam scores and school‐assigned grades in that subject.  The other three grades included in the Academic GPA calculation are school grades only.  The academic GPA is not calculated for students lacking courses or passing grades in the set of academic subjects used for the calculation. 

*The cohort of eligible to graduate grade 12 students includes those students deemed eligible to graduate because they have enrolled in sufficient courses to meet the requirements to graduate during that school year. This construct is distinct from the six year completion cohort. Please refer to the Ministry of Education's K‐12 glossary for definitions.

A total of 1,776 (or 7.5%) of 23,589^ undergraduate immediate‐entry students from the 2009/10 high‐school graduation cohort, among those eligble*, left the B.C. public post‐secondary system without a credential.  These students first enrolled in a B.C. public post‐secondary institution in 2010/11, but they did not complete a credential or enrol again over the next four years (through academic year 2014/15). The first‐year immediate‐entry attrition rates from the B.C. public post‐secondary system are provided by type of institution first entered . 

*The cohort of eligible to graduate grade 12 students includes those students deemed eligible to graduate because they have enrolled in sufficient courses to meet the requirements to graduate during that school year. This construct is distinct from the six year completion cohort. Please refer to the Ministry of Education's K‐12 glossary for definitions. 

^Note that graduate students and students enrolled exclusively in continuing education are excluded.  

Consistent with different levels of academic qualifications needed for post‐secondary admission, the attrition rates vary across sectors, with research universities showing the lowest attrition rates.  A number of sector designation changes have occurred recently in B.C.  This chart reports all institutions under their current (2014/2015) institution type.

Given that B.C.'s research universities are located in urban centers (Lower Mainland, Victoria, Kelowna, and Prince George), differences in attrition rates between research universities and other sectors may be attributed to regional differences, including GPA levels of high school graduates enrolled in rural colleges, differences in employment opportunities in the local economy, and differences in parental education levels (which are often  positively correlated with higher education participation).

  Source: STP Post‐Secondary Student Mobility (PSM) PivotTables, from November 2013 STP Submissions.

STP Fast Fact  #14:  Student Mobility RatesThe Student Mobility Rate is the proportion of all students enrolled in credit courses

in the B.C. public post‐secondary education system in the academic yearwho were last enrolled at some other institution.

The STP's calculation of student mobility rates have undergone several definitional changes over the last few years.  The significant change to the mobility rate calculation when last reported was the exclusion of students registered in non‐credit courses.  The non‐credit exclusion also resulted in the exclusion of some developmental and vocational programs (where instruction is measured in hours rather than credits).  The mobility rates reported here include undergraduate, graduate and developmental program registrants in credit courses only.  

Recently, another significant change occurred ‐‐ all student pathways between all institutions attended by each student are now quantified (rather than limiting mobility tracking between a single 'primary' enrollment per student per year).  In addition, the mobility of students who re‐enter B.C.'s public post‐secondary education system after stopout period(s) are also captured (rather than limiting the population to continuing students from the immediately preceding year only).  Note that student mobility rates are restated each year so that mobility rates for the current and past years are based on the current methodology and are comparable over time. 

Definitions:Student Mobility is the movement of students from one B.C. public post‐secondary institution to another.  Mobile students are those who  moved to a new institution for the first time or returned to an institution previously attended (after attending some other institution in the intervening period). Student movement may occur directly from the  immediately preceding period of registration or after a stopout period of non‐registration.  Since students can take multiple pathways between multiple institutions, the unique headcount of all mobile students (rather than a duplicated count of all student pathways) is used in the calculation of the mobility rate.

Numerous institution name changes took place in B.C. in the period  2007/08 to 2008/09.  Students who remained at institutions that were renamed are not counted as student movers.
