Book excerpt: This study examined the extent of transfer shock experienced by community college students transferring to an urban public university. Review of the published literature on transfer shock uncovered no studies of this type conducted at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), urban or otherwise. Accordingly, a public urban HBCU was chosen to serve as the focus of this research. Six cohorts, consisting of community college transfer students entering the HBCU in the falls of 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, or 2005, formed the study's parameters. Students transferring to the HBCU in the falls of 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003 had their academic performance tracked for all four semesters, while fall 2004 transferees were tracked for three semesters, and 2005 fall entrants for only one semester. The study ended in December 2005. Secondary data and the quantitative method were employed in this research. The data studied have been stored at the HBCU, available upon request, subject to approval by the Institution's Review Board. The IRB approved the request for the data sought for this study, which were obtained from the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation in an electronic format with no identifying information; therefore, no interviews or any other interaction with these students were needed. Of the requested data, those pertaining to gender, age, enrollment status (full-time or part-time), semester and year of initial enrollment, final community college GPA and HBCU GPAs (first through fourth semester enrollment), and the final HBCU GPA were the obtained data. Other literature in this field indicated that community college transfer students who transferred from community colleges that prepared them well for transfer to four-year colleges were less likely to suffer from transfer shock. Studying the amount of transfer shock encountered by transfer students from various community colleges could have indicated the quality of preparation given students at these various community colleges. Collecting such data year-to-year would also have yielded a pattern indicating the consistency of quality of preparing these students for transfer, along with creating a longitudinal study. Qualitative studies would have provided an added dimension to these studies. -- Abstract.

Book excerpt: Since 2000, the number of students transferring from United States community colleges to four-year institutions has steadily increased. As a result, growing attention has been paid to community college students' academic performance following their transfer. Research conducted in the United States has reported mixed results regarding transfer students' academic performance in four-year institutions. Similar to the United States, many college students in Ecuador transfer to different types of postsecondary institutions. However, no research has been published on this experience in Ecuador that can inform educators and support transfer students' academic performance after transferring. To fill this gap, this study investigated the characteristics and academic success of community college students who transferred to a four-year institution in Ecuador. In particular, this study used secondary data to compare characteristics and academic performance (i.e., GPA) between transfer and non-transfer students attending a small private four-year university in Ecuador between Fall 2008 and Fall 2013. Results from mixed-effects models showed that transfer students had a higher average GPA after one semester (intercept) than non-transfer students; however, no difference in the average change in GPA over the years (slope) was found between transfer and non-transfer students. Further analysis examining gender differences in the average GPA after the first semester (intercept) showed that transfer females performed significantly better than males. It was also found that the area or program of study was a significant predictor explaining some of the variation in the average GPA after the first semester (intercept). For example, students in engineering programs had the lowest average GPA across the years. This suggests that extra attention and academic assistance might be necessary for these students entering to engineering program of study. In addition, significant differences in the average GPA after the first semester (intercept) were found depending on the quality of the community college that students transferred from. This result suggests that universities should design their marketing strategies and admission resources that recruit students from category A and B institutes of technology and universities, which can be further facilitated by subscribing articulation agreements with these institutions to allow prospect transfer students to transfer a great majority of their credit hours. The current study shows, that transfer students are capable of being academically successful at four-year institutions. It further suggests that recruitment efforts aimed at community college transfer students should target students based on their transferring GPA and the quality of the transferring institution; while for non-transfer students on the basis of high school GPA. It is hoped that this study would help Ecuadorian authorities and institutional officers at all levels more effectively facilitate student mobility between the country's institutes of technology and its universities, and encourage more in-depth research on transfer students so that their academic potential becomes a reality.

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.
