Book excerpt: To help students through the difficult process of transfer, many institutions nationwide have developed Transfer Centers, physical locations where students can come to learn more about the transfer process. The mission of Transfer Centers is to promote and support community college students who are seeking to transfer to four-year institutions. The present study examines the role of the Transfer Center in nine community colleges in the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD) to understand the effectiveness of the centers in promoting student transfer and their role in supporting students who are on the pathway to transfer. To assess the effectiveness of the Transfer Centers within the community colleges, the present study utilized qualitative data from the center directors and the students who utilize the Transfer Center services. Two stages of examination were simultaneously employed. One level of data collection involved interviewing the Directors of each Transfer Center while the other included focus groups with students. The sample for this study is the nine Transfer Centers located on the campuses of the Los Angeles Community Colleges. A random design allowed the researchers to collect data in a focus group format on a wide range of students who were from different educational backgrounds, ethnicities, and socioeconomic statuses. The focus groups typically included three to five students at each campus, resulting in a sample size of 58 students. A case study methodology was used, and the main form of data collection was through interviews and focus group transcripts. Questions centered around understanding what helps and hinders the success of student transfer as well as the barriers to providing students services for transferring. Findings focused on themes delineated from interviews with community college students and supported by comments made by Transfer Center directors highlighting the complexities of student needs and services. Student interviews revealed three aspects that help or hinder the progress of student transfer: knowledge of the transfer process, academics (sufficient grades necessary to transfer), and financial limitations as a barrier to transfer. Findings among Transfer Center directors interviews supplemented the student interviews and resulted in two major themes: institutional support and external influences. Some directors reported that they felt they had sufficient institutional support while others felt that they were in conflict with the administration and faculty on their campus. Among the exterior influences that directors identified were that community college students had outside commitments, like jobs, family responsibilities, and other life stressors that interfere with their school studies. Other barriers identified by directors was student confusion regarding transfer. The ASSIST website was identified by both students and directors as a tool to facilitate the transfer function. ASSIST, or the Articulation System Stimulating Inter-institutional Student Transfer, is a computerized information system created to provide detailed and current transfer and articulation information for transfer between the California Community Colleges and the public university systems. It is concluded that barriers exist that limit the potential of transfer for community college students and the transfer function for community colleges themselves, and that Transfer Centers are in need of greater support.

Download or read book Beyond Free College written by Eileen L. Strempel and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-01-15 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Free College outlines an audacious national agenda—consistent with, but far more comprehensive than, the current “free college” movement—that builds on the best of US higher education’s populist history such as the G.I. Bill and the community college transfer function. The authors align a wide constellation of higher education trends—online learning, prior learning assessment, competency-based learning, high school college-credit— with a rapidly shifting student transfer environment that privileges college credit as the pivotal educational catalyst to boost access and completion. The book’s agenda seeks greater productive investment in postsecondary education by privileging a single metric—lower-cost-per-degree-granted—as the animating driver of a transfer pathway that will fulfill the potential of its historical, progressive innovators. Beyond Free College’s goal is as simple as it is urgent: To galvanize higher education advocates in an effort to reorganize, reorient, and reignite the transfer function to serve the needs of a neotraditional student population that now constitutes the majority of college-goers in America; and in ways that advance completion, not just access to higher education.

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 Power to the Transfer written by Dimpal Jain and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2020-02-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, U.S. community colleges serve nearly half of all students of color in higher education who, for a multitude of reasons, do not continue their education by transferring to a university. For those students who do transfer, often the responsibility for the application process, retention, graduation, and overall success is placed on them rather than their respective institutions. This book aims to provide direction toward the development and maintenance of a transfer receptive culture, which is defined as an institutional commitment by a university to support transfer students of color. A transfer receptive culture explicitly acknowledges the roles of race and racism in the vertical transfer process from a community college to a university and unapologetically centers transfer as a form of equity in the higher education pipeline. The framework is guided by critical race theory in education, which acknowledges the role of white supremacy and its contemporary and historical role in shaping institutions of higher learning.

This book was released on 2020-11-18 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it was originally released, Thriving in Transitions: A Research-Based Approach to College Student Success represented a paradigm shift in the student success literature, moving the student success conversation beyond college completion to focus on student characteristics that promote high levels of academic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal performance in the college environment. The authors contend that a focus on remediating student characteristics or merely encouraging specific behaviors is inadequate to promote success in college and beyond. Drawing on research on college student thriving completed since 2012, the newly revised collection presents six research studies describing the characteristics that predict thriving in different groups of college students, including first-year students, transfer students, high-risk students, students of color, sophomores, and seniors, and offers recommendations for helping students thrive in college and life. New to this edition is a chapter focused on the role of faculty in supporting college student thriving.
