"This project looks at the educational outcomes of students who participated in the Dual Credit and SWAC program at George Brown College in Winter 2012. It examines the effect of the outreach, transition and retention strategies designed to attract students to the programs and explores whether motivation and academic preparation are related to student outcomes. These programs were assessed using a longitudinal model that surveyed program participants at four time points: (1) the beginning of the program, (2) the end of the program, (3) six months post-completion and (4) one year post-completion. The project explores the barriers that students face and the types of outreach and connections that best promote access to postsecondary education."--Executive Summary.
