Abstract
This transfer student success study is based on 10 years of data from Lakehead University, a provincial leader in attracting transfer students from colleges1. It compares and contrasts the success of 3 groups of college students entering Lakehead University: • Those entering through bilateral or multi-lateral agreements with block transfer, • Advanced standing college transfer students (those who have completed a college diploma and are eligible for transfer credit), and • Other college students without transfer credits (students who have upgraded their high school credential at a college, those who only partially completed a diploma, or those whose average is below the requirement for transfer credit).
