Abstract

This project leveraged existing transfer student data sets developed through previous ONCAT projects to enhance the understanding of transfer student experiences and outcomes through the development of enhanced transfer student business intelligence visualizations. Through this project, Lakehead University constructed data models that improved the understanding of its transfer student experience and outcomes to support transfer student success and new transfer pathway opportunities. These datasets will also support decision-making related to strategic enrolment management and academic and non-academic supports for transfer students with the aim of improving transfer student outcomes. This work may also identify opportunities that can be leveraged by other Ontario post-secondary institutions to improve the experience and outcomes of transfer students across the province.
