The British Columbia Council on Admissions & Transfer (BCCAT) has recently launched an interactive dashboard to share the results of a national study conducted by CHASI on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on post-secondary students.

The analysis includes a repository of publicly available COVID-19 student impact reports, a cross-national literature review, thematic analysis of publicly available survey results, and analysis of key informant discussions.

In total, 58 COVID-19 student impact reports were identified, representing 31 post-secondary institutions and organizations across Canada. In addition, 11 post-secondary institutions and organizations participated in a key informant discussion.
