A visiting student is a student who moves from their home institution where he or she is registered usually in a degree program, to take a specified number of courses or credits at another institution. Students may or may not hold a letter of permission. Most of these students later return to the home institution and request transfer credit for the courses taken elsewhere. The rationale for the study involves gaining an enhanced picture of student mobility and credit transfer. Visiting students often fall into the same general category as those who are assessed in studies of student mobility or credit transfer; they are a smaller group, and less easily identifiable. Providing models for policy and/or practice can assist all institutions in identifying trends and efficiencies across the British Columbia (BC) post-secondary system, thus helping students as well as administrators and faculty. This report describes various policies and practices related to visiting students at post-secondary institutions in BC and at key institutions across Canada. The report focuses on Canada and on BC in particular. The study analyzes policies and practices at different types of institutions: research-intensive universities, teaching-intensive universities, institutes, and colleges. Both public and private BC institutions were included in the study. [This report was prepared by I.S. Education Consulting.]
