Block Transfer and Degree Partnerships in the BC Transfer System

However, the latter area represented 61% of the actual block credits transferred in the CDW data, while the former represented only 7% of the credit total. [...] At the macro-level, issues include the comprehensiveness of the agreements listed the BCTG, the availability and reliability of system-wide data, and, perhaps ultimately, the philoso- phy and policy perspectives on how different types of transfer mechanisms are perceived and facilitated. [...] The study was able to compare these institution/agreement pairs to the actual student and credit flow volumes in the CDW data from the first part of the analysis. [...] The block transfer and degree partnership portions of the BCTG list the agreement pathways by which transfer occurs between sending and receiving institutions, and the CDW data can provide information on the volumes, magnitudes and trends of these flows over time. [...] This impacted the results of the analysis of the total volume of transfer credits, as well as the distribution of transfer credits by type.
