Transfer Student Sucess

Abstract

An increasing number of students are transferring from community colleges to four-year institutions. However, these students often face significant challenges, including a lack of understanding of the transfer process, inadequate advising, financial pressures, and competing responsibilities (Boone, 2017). Transferring from a community college to a four-year institution is more than just transferring credits; Transfer students face a variety of challenges ranging from managing the high costs of education, difficulties integrating into a new academic environment, and making it through “transfer shock” (Rivera-Jiménez, 2024). By increasing support frameworks, institutions can ensure that transfer students will be able to thrive in their new college. In this project, I aim to enhance the preparation of transfer students by establishing a comprehensive transfer transition workshop series. Developing an effective program will help ensure that more transfer students are equipped to succeed and graduate.
