In an effort to fill this gap in the current models, this volume of New Directions for Community Colleges presents vivid profiles of the different types of reverse transfer students-- exploring their reasons for attAnding, their enrollment patterns, and their educational needs. The authors share their institutions' strategies for recruiting, retaining, and serving reverse transfer students, and reveal how the presence of reverse transfer students affects policy-making, at both the institutional and external levels.

Download or read book Building Transfer Student Pathways for College and Career Success written by Sonya Joseph and published by The National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in partnership with the National Institute for the Study of Transfer Students. Analysis of bachelor’s degree completion suggests that only about a third of college graduates attend a single institution from start to finish. More than one quarter earn college credits from three or more schools before completing a degree. For most, these student-defined pathways lead to increased time-to-degree and higher costs. Many will simply drop out long before crossing the finish line. Ensuring college completion and success requires an understanding of the evolving nature of transfer transitions and a system-wide approach that reaches beyond two-year and four-year institutions to include high schools participating in dual enrollment programs and military college initiatives. A new edited collection offers insight into institutional and statewide partnerships that create clearly defined pathways to college graduation and career success for all students.

Download or read book Improving College Student Retention written by Robert D. Reason and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education institutions have already begun to see decreasing enrollment numbers, even as higher education enrollment is predicted to drop precipitously starting in 2025. Much of the decrease in enrollment will be driven by demographic trends about which higher education institutions can do little, making the retention of students who do enroll that much more important. Overall retention rates have stagnated and differential retention rates by race and ethnicity have persisted. If higher education institutions, researchers, and policy makers are to improve retention rates, a critical examination of the current state and future directions of retention research is essential.This edited volume begins that examination by addressing several questions: What are the needed directions in theory and research on college student persistence and how do we translate new theory and research into effective practices? Are we asking the right questions, looking in the right places, or trying to apply out-of-date theories to new populations? In short, how can the research community help institutions improve retention in this challenging time?
