Book excerpt: Students, who complete their first two years of higher education at community colleges, must be prepared for the rigorous coursework at four-year institutions. The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive update and to determine if there were differences in the academic performance of North Carolina native students and North Carolina community college transfer students who began their higher education matriculation at selected community colleges in North Carolina and then transferred to state universities in the same state. Using secondary data from statewide databases of student records with information on North Carolina community colleges and University of North Carolina institutions, this study investigated and analyzed data on academic performance as measured by grade point averages and average credit hours attempted for each year under study. The findings from this study indicated that North Carolina community college transfer students who completed the requirements for associate degrees from the college transfer curriculum performed as well as native juniors as measured by grade point averages. However, the native students attempted more credit hours during their matriculation at the state universities than did their community college transfer counterparts.

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ideally, developmental education programs provided in the community college accomplish their objective of enhancing the basic learning skills of under-prepared students and preparing them for further college level coursework. The number of students that place into developmental education programs in North Carolina community colleges has grown to approximately 60 percent since the initial implementation of developmental education in the 1960's. After successful completion of developmental coursework, students that enter the community college with deficiencies in basic reading, English, or math (developmental students) should exhibit performance and have experiences that are consistent with their peers who enter without those identified academic deficiencies (non-developmental students). This study compared the academic performance and experiences of developmental and non-developmental community college transfer students after their first year at the university. The participants had completed an Associate in Arts (A.A.), Associate in Science (A.S.), or Associate in Fine Arts (A.F.A) degree from one of nine selected rural community colleges in North Carolina and matriculated into one of the 16 public universities of the University of North Carolina system. The North Carolina Transfer Student Questionnaire (NC-TSQ) was administered during the Summer of 2003. A comparative analysis of demographics, community college questions, and university questions guided the investigation into identifying differences in academic performance and experiences of the two groups at the community college and university. Using Chi-Square analysis (with Bonferroni adjustment) for nominal data and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) (with Bonferroni adjustment) for synthesized interval scales, this study reported that the two groups were quite similar in most areas assessed by the NC-TSQ. However, significant differences were identified in time of transfer, high school average grades, hours spent w.

This book was released on 1969 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not a significant difference existed between Oregon community college transfer students and native students at Oregon State University with respect to academic achievement, persistence, and graduation. Two groups of students were selected for observation. The first included all of the 116 full-time students who transferred from Oregon community colleges with 39 or more units of collegiate work and were admitted to Oregon State University from the fall quarter 1963 through the fall quarter 1964. The second group included 116 full-time native students who were currently enrolled at Oregon State University. Each native student was selected at random to match one of the transfer students by school, age, sex, marital status, and number of units completed. Original data were obtained by surveying student records. Grade-point averages were collected at various time intervals. To evaluate persistence and graduation, students were classified as enrolled, withdrawn, dismissed, or graduated. The percentage of students in each classification was tabulated at various time intervals. Comparisons of grade-point average were made by t tests. Within the transfer group, evaluations were made for sub-groups established on the basis of school, age, sex, marital status, and class standing. The same subgroup evaluations were made within the native group. Comparisons of grade-point average also were made between the transfer and native groups as a whole and as subgroups. The academic classifications of the total transfer group were compared with those of the native group by chi-square tests. Comparisons for transfer and native subgroups were made by percentages. The findings of this investigation are summarized in three subdivisions: transfer shock, academic achievement, persistence and graduation. Transfer shock. Acute transfer shock was observed for transfer students. Recovery was slow, and grade-point averages generally did not return to their original level until graduation. The dropout rate was extremely high for the first year after transfer and included a large number of dismissals. Students in all schools suffered transfer shock and a considerable loss of grade-points. Large dropout rates for the first year were noted in most schools. Transfer shock was most noticable for the following subgroups: students enrolled in the School of Engineering, young students in the 19 to 21 age group, males, and single students. Academic achievement. When observations began and upon receipt of the baccalaureate degree there was no significant difference between the grade-point averages of transfer and native students. However, when comparing the cumulative grades for the total collegiate work of dropouts as well as graduates, the grade average of transfer students was significantly lower than that of native students. This was attributed to the loss of grade-point average associated with transfer shock. At graduation there was no significant difference between native and transfer students in any subgroup. For total collegiate work, native engineering students averaged much higher than transfer engineering students, and native males averaged higher than transfer males. Youngest native students had a higher average than youngest transfers; native juniors were higher than transfer juniors; single natives averaged much higher than single transfers, but there was no significant difference between married groups. Persistence and graduation. When transfer students were compared with native students, the persistence and graduation rates of native students were found to be significantly higher than those of transfer students at all time intervals. Dropouts from either group seldom occurred between the fourth and fifth year of collegiate work. Graduation rates for both groups increased greatly when students were given an additional year to complete degree requirements, but the largest gain was observed for transfer students. The persistence and graduation rates for native subgroups were much higher than those for corresponding transfer subgroups except in the School of Science and for students above 26 years of age. Transfer dropouts included a higher percentage of dismissals than native dropouts.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to compare the academic success of transfer students and native students enrolled in a private urban university. The relationship between community college students and their performance at four year institutions has been researched by numerous researchers (Carlan & Byxbe, 2000; Cejda, 1994; Cohen, 1998; Hill, 1965; Graham & Hughes, 1994; Montondon & Elkner, 1997). Banks (1990) has written that the founders of junior colleges believed the success of their transfer mission could be gauged by the success of their students at the four-year institution. Current research was highly focused on transfer students as they moved from community colleges to public four-year institutions. Inadequate research was available to assist independent colleges and universities in working with transfer students. Sixteen hundred independent colleges and universities have enrolled more than 3.1 million students, a critical number of students needing focused and specialized research on transfer (National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, 2005). This causal comparative study examined a cohort of students who transferred into a private four-year institution. The study was comprised of native and transfer students who entered a private urban university, Fall, 1999, and examined their academic success outcomes six years later (May, 2005). The purpose of this study was to understand and describe the extent to which native and transfer students differ in their academic success in a private urban university. The study found no statistically significant differences in the academic success (grade point average, retention rate, graduation rate) of transfer and native students based on transfer status, classification, age, gender or transfer institution type. No statistically significant differences were found in the grade point averages and retention rates of transfer and native students based on enrollment status. However, full-time transfer and native students had a statistically higher graduation rate than part-time students. Implications for future practice and recommendations for further research are provided by the study. -- Abstract.
