Abstract	This project focuses on the student practice of "stepping out" to earn transfer credits at a second or additional ("host") institution, while continuing in a program at their first ("home") institution. It is based on data from a cohort of students who graduated in 2015/2016 from any of the 21 public institutions in British Columbia that report to the British Columbia Central Data Warehouse (CDW). Since there is limited research on visiting students in a domestic context, this report aimed to understand both general themes and a variety of research questions related to the following areas: (1) Volume of transfer credits being imported to the home institution, generally, as well as by course and student disciplines; (2) The number and type of host institutions at which the imported credits were earned; (3) The level of credits being transferred; (4) Domestic/international status of students requesting credit; (5) Identifiable patterns to the courses transferred, such as semester of enrollment, number of semesters that transfer courses are taken in, and common disciplines resulting in assigned or unassigned transfer credit; and (6) Whether the student attended the host institution, either previously or in the future. This project follows up on a previous report on the policies and practices related to visiting students at British Columbia (BC) post-secondary institutions.
