Mobility of Transfer Students Sub-Committee

The Student Transitions Project Steering Committee's terms of reference allow it to appoint sub-committees to provide advice.

Recently, the committee appointed a Mobility of Transfer Students Sub-Committee (formerly the Enrolment Planning Data Sub-Committee, a sub-committee of the British Columbia Council on Admissions and Transfer).

The sub-committee is made up of representatives of the British Columbia Council on Admissions and Transfer, the Ministry of Advanced Education and Labour Market Development, and B.C.'s public post-secondary institutions.

The sub-committee will determine the number and mobility of potential transfer students to help post-secondary institutions and sectors make enrolment planning decisions.
