Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing number of community college transfer students aspiring to attain a baccalaureate degree increases the importance of understanding their perceptions about mattering at 4-year institutions. The degree to which students believe that they matter to others, they are significant to others, and they are appreciated by others (Rosenberg & McCullough, 1981; Schlossberg, 1989; Schlossberg, Lassalle, & Golec, 1989) is paramount to 4-year institutions retaining and graduating these students. A quantitative study was conducted using the Mattering Scales for Adult Students in Higher Education (MHE) to assess the perceptions community college transfer students have about mattering at a private, 4-year liberal arts institution in five postsecondary domains: administration, advising, peers, multiple roles, and faculty. Two research questions were examined in this study: 1. Do community college transfer students perceive that they matter at a private, 4-year liberal arts institution in five postsecondary domains: administration, advising, peers, multiple roles, and faculty? 2. Are there significant differences in the perceptions of community college transfer students based on demographic factors including age, race/ethnicity, education, gender, employment, dependents, number of dependents, hours worked weekly, hours spent on campus weekly, enrollment status, years at the institution, or major area of study? The participants for this study consisted of 23 respondents from a sample of 31 community college transfer students enrolled during the fall 2015 academic semester. Statistical analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics to describe the participants in the study. Inferential analysis was conducted using independent-samples t-tests to assess the differences in the independent variables in the five postsecondary domains and the students’ perceptions about mattering. The findings from this study revealed that community college transfer students have strong perceptions of mattering in the advising and peers postsecondary domains. Differences were statistically significant for gender, race/ethnicity, age, dependents, employment, enrollment status, and education in at least one of the five postsecondary domains. Implications for this research suggest that institutions that focus on mattering and greater student involvement will be successful in creating campuses where students are motivated to learn, where retention is reduced, and where students are loyal to the institution even after graduation.

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.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the enrollment of community college students at four-year institutions increasing in recent years, this study examined the institutional efforts of three private religiously affiliated universities in California to aid transfer students in their transition to the new college setting. With the critical issue of transfer student retention in mind, the study sought out to find the institutional, personal, and interpersonal elements community college students identified as influential to their transition. Additionally, student affairs officers were asked to provide their reflections on the individual and institutional factors they deemed were the most salient in the retention of transfer students at their respective campuses. Data collection was in the form of an online survey provided to all community college transfer students who had entered the university in the fall 2016 semester. Students were sent the survey after the completion of one semester at each of the three institutions studied. The survey was comprised of questions about the various aspects that affect a student's academic and social experiences while in college. Additionally, two student affairs staff at each of the sites were interviewed to learn more about institutional efforts in relation to transfer student programming, on-boarding, and assimilation to the new campus community. The findings of the study suggest the importance of students' academic and social experiences as they transition to the four-year setting. Transfer students experience culture shock when arriving to the university and events such as new student orientation help them acclimate to the campus culture. Furthermore, survey and interview data showed the importance of academic advisement for smoother transitions, how financial aid exacerbated transfer versus native student disparities, and the influence of on-campus housing on persistence. Lastly, the campus religious context as either a facilitator of or barrier to adjustment was discussed. These findings support the notion that multiple factors are at play when it comes to the retention of transfer students at private religiously affiliated liberal arts universities in California. Various offices within the institution need to work collaboratively to support the needs of transfer students in this transitionary period.
