Abstract	The Student Transitions Project (STP) has focused its research since 2005 on the achievements of British Columbia (B.C.) grade 12 graduates who enrolled in post-secondary education. Some students who do not graduate from Grade 12 also enroll at post-secondary institutions in a variety of programs, but little has been reported on these non-graduates. To start filling the information gap, this newsletter examines the post-secondary enrollment and completion information that is available from the STP on British Columbia students who did not graduate from a public or private high school in B.C. The newsletter looks at what programs these students take at B.C. colleges, institutes, and universities when they reach post-secondary. Three educational pathways or enrollment patterns are described: (1) Upgrading programs such as Adult Basic Education or Developmental Education; (2) Post-secondary credit and other credential-bearing programs; and (3) Non core and contract (often non-credit) programs. Part 1 of this paper reveals three dominant patterns of post-secondary enrolments taken by the students who appear as non-graduates from B.C. Grade 12. Part 2 examines the credentials earned by such students. The data examined in this paper contributes to a sense that the B.C. post-secondary system does function as envisioned over a generation ago with respect to "second chance" pathways. (ERIC).
