This article finds transfers to @calstate system are similar to students who are enrolled in @CalCommColleges, but this isn't the case for @uofcalifornia system. More research is needed to find out why this is the case. bit.ly/3K20fXX @PPICNotes #highered

This article describes a wonderful program for vertical transfer students run by @UCLA (bit.ly/4aCIhqn). Would that all vertical transfer students got this kind of support, consideration, and respect! #highered #California

What Support Do Community College Students Need To Transfer?

Across the country, transfer rates remain bleak. Here’s how UCLA’s Scholars Program is working to change that.

July 1 a new rule will require colleges getting federal student aid "to provide all students who request an official transcript w. one that covers the payment periods for which they’ve paid in full" bit.ly/3VWbecA hugely helping transfer students. #highered @IthakaSR

Ban on Transcript Holds Will Help Students, but Make It Harder for Colleges to Collect on Debt

Similar state rules have cost some colleges millions, but they’ve also opened the door to more tuition revenue.

Is increasing talk about giving #highered students credit for all kinds of prior learning (CPL), but what about the @AACRAO finding that"54% of institutions will not accept transfer CPL awarded at another institution" ?bit.ly/3xyXtGJ A huge problem for transfer students.

This @EdNCES report bit.ly/3Je8lfB found, among 2009 9th graders who ever enrolled in postsecondary education, by 2021 (12 yrs after 9th grade) 30% had transferred between postsecondary IHEs: @AIRInforms #highered Transfer from 1 IHE to another is very common.

As pointed out by @Steven_Mintz , to help vertical transfer students, credits need to transfer as applying to gen ed & major requirements. If 4-yr IHEs can't do this soon, then "Make it easier for 2-year institutions to grant bachelor's degrees" bit.ly/3U9OdRT #HigherEd

Big leaks in vertical (community to bachelors college) transfer occur in every state, incl. #NorthCarolina, & need to be addressed: bit.ly/3PRmKSs We must help each student transfer at point in pipeline that is appropriate for them: bit.ly/3rmrO8t #HigherEd

Opinion: More is needed to help community college students obtain bachelor’s degrees

More work is needed to provide a clear pathway for community college students to transfer to four-year institutions and obtain a bachelor's degree

Two Hispanic-serving IHEs (one a 2-year & one a 4-year) are trying to address the problems faced by vertical transfer students by partnering closely together & blurring the lines between them: bit.ly/4ahx4vx #HigherEd @govista @UTSA

The @calstate system is decreasing gen ed requirements for freshmen to 34 credits, same as for transfers, & similar to @UofCalifornia (bit.ly/3POuqVF), moving #California 1 step closer to a state-wide gen ed requirement, a big help to transfer #highered @AshASmithNews

Even tho state of #RhodeIsland has 1 community college, 1 public college, & 1 public univ, its community college students still face challenges when trying to transfer vertically to bachelor's programs: bit.ly/4czFZtB #HigherEd @CCRINews @RICNews @universityofri

When CCRI students transfer, will their credits follow? • Rhode Island Current

A new transfer center on the CCRI campus is helping to making it easier for students to continue their higher education after obtaining an associate degree.

California is adding more bachelor's programs to @CalCommColleges, ones that don't compete with @calstate or @UofCalifornia. bit.ly/3TUwCwj bit.ly/49d5LAT Makes huge sense due to existing vertical transfer barriers. #highered @SaraWeissman @AshASmithNews

Vertical transfer in California is more complex than in many other states due to having 3 independent IHE systems (@CalCommColleges, @calstate, @UofCalifornia). Here's info on recent attempts to address the problems: bit.ly/4a4h4wy #HigherEd #beyondtransfer @DrAishaLowe

In this piece, @MikeNietzel does a beautiful job providing data about & explaining how very selective IHEs could do a much better job with accepting transfer students, benefitting these IHEs as well as the transfer students: bit.ly/4a4e1o6 #highered @Forbes

One way to make it easier for vertical transfer students is to locate the destination bachelor's programs on the campus of the community college: bit.ly/490PJdA #HigherEd @LakelandWI

University relocates satellite centers to two-year colleges

A student transfer situation not often discussed: cases in which students have to transfer because their college closes. bit.ly/49PUIim What happens to these students' credits & how likely are they to graduate?

Dual college closures leave multiple transfers in the lurch

When Alderson Broaddus University shuttered last August, several students transferred to Notre Dame College. Now it’s closing, too.

The best known successful vertical transfer path is dual admission program of @NOVAcommcollege & @georgemasonu bit.ly/3v955P9 Can it be applied to #california: @CalCommColleges & @calstate & @UofCalifornia ? The situation is far more complex. #HigherEd @michaelburke47

As California tries to improve its dismal transfer results, a dual admission program in Virginia could be a model.
