| Descripción: | ABSTRACTUsing data from several introductory-level courses at one Canadian university, community college transfer students were compared to transfer students from other universities and to non-transfer students on a number of measures of academic success. The three groups did not differ significantly in terms of course withdrawal rates, and final course grades for college transfer students were not significantly different from those of non-transfer students. How- ever, students who had transferred from other universities received higher final grades. Mid-course grades and gender comparisons are discussed, as are policy implications and suggestions for future research.RÉSUMÉAu moyen de données provenant de plusieurs cours d’introduction dispensés dans une université canadienne, des mesures de réussite académique ont été comparées entre des étudiants de collèges communautaires provenant de différentes institutions académiques, ainsi qu’avec des étudiants qui ne sont pas en transfert. Les trois groupes ne présentaient pas de différences substantielles entre eux en ce qui concerne les taux d’abandon de cours. En outre, les notes finales des étudiants provenant d’autres universités ne présentaient pas de différences notables devant celles des étudiants qui n’étaient pas en transfert. Cependant, les étudiants provenant d’autres universités ont obtenu des notes finales plus élevées que les étudiants qui n’étaient pas en transfert. L’article aborde les résultats de mi-parcours et compare ceux-ci entre les hommes et les femmes; on y présente également les incidences politiques et des suggestions pour de futures recherches. |
