Abstract: This research note updates the tentative, four year graduation results of Martinello and Stewart (2015). After six years, transfer students from community colleges were more likely than non-transfer students to have graduated earlier and with Pass (rather than Honours) Bachelors level degrees. Overall, however, college transfer students had lower six year university graduation rates than non-transfer students.
