This study sought to identify potential pathway programs, assess the number of credits completed by pathway-transfer and direct-entry students, and explore the reasons why students complete the number of credits they do. [...] For the following analysis, anonymized records of the following groups of students were used: o Pathway graduates: students who graduated with a baccalaureate during the period from September 2015 to August 2019 from one of the study-receivers within the study disciplines who were admitted as transfer students at Year 2 level or higher. [...] It also provides an estimate of the number of study-sender credits not recorded by the study-receiver.5 In every study discipline and for every student type, the total credits recorded by the receiver is different than the total credits across study-sender and study-receiver. [...] Students invited to participate in the survey were enrolled at one of the study-receivers within the study disciplines, were admitted as transfer students at Year 2 level or higher, and were within approximately 30 credits of graduation. [...] When comparing the number of credits completed at the study-sender and study-receiver, significantly higher numbers of credits were completed in Engineering, with an average of 145 credits completed at the study-receiver, and 167 credits across both study-sender and study-receiver for all student groups (including direct-entry students with no study-sender credit).
