In March 2003, a consortium of six BC postsecondary institutions - BCIT, Douglas College, North Island College, Selkirk College, Okanagan University College and the University College of the Cariboo - coducted a survey of "short stay students" - those who had accrued fewer than 24 credits before leaving their institution - to determine their experience at their institution and their reasons for leaving. This report compares the University College of the Cariboo's survey results with those of the consortium with a view to understanding more about early leaver behaviour and identifying what measures UCC might take to address it.
