Initiated in 1993 by the Vancouver School Board in partnership with the Office of the President of The University of British Columbia and subsequently funded as a BC Provincial Resource Program by the BC Ministry of Education in 1995, the University Transition Program designed a radical academic acceleration preparation for early entrance to university studies for BC adolescents in accordance with the BC Special Education Policy for gifted students whose asynchronous educational and developmental needs exceed available services in regular classrooms. Program design was refined in consultation with local, national and international gifted education specialists and researchers, most notably the internationally renowned Dr. Nancy Robinson, Founder and Dr. Kate Noble, Director of the Transition School at the University of Washington, Seattle. The Program evolved through outstanding leadership from VSB and UBC as well as from parents and their gifted students. Courtesy of the Office of the UBC President, the Program relocated to several classrooms nestled on the second floor of the Auditorium Annex B on the UBC campus in 1998 therein promoting a pre-university identity, career and university course explorations and access to diverse UBC facilities with the privilege of a UBC student card for access to UBC libraries. Following recommendations from the May 2002 Review of the Transition Program presented to the VSB-UBC Steering Committee, the Vice-President Academic – UBC presented a proposal to the UBC Senate based on research of UTP graduates’ success at UBC. In December 2002 the UBC Senate adopted the recommendation to offer early acceptance to UBC without high school graduation to successful UTP graduates recommended by staff. Subsequent infrastructure support for UTP was negotiated with the Dean of the Faculty of Education. The Program continues to evolve building on a strong conceptual framework linked to an organic growth model that supports the advancement of best practices in accordance with unrelenting focus on optimal learning trajectories of intellectually gifted and academically and creatively talented young people who have chosen the intensive and challenging educational pathway of radical academic acceleration and preparation for early entrance to university studies. Program students and their parents together with Program graduates and alumni parents working collaboratively with Staff and the Program Coordinator to build the communiversity experience that promotes wellness, scholarship excellence, leadership and the flourishing of goodness in the lives of all people.
