A VERY PERSONAL STORY…
![Page 4: LET’S TALK ABOUT TRANSFER · LET’S TALK ABOUT TRANSFER! NEW YORK STATE TRANSFER ARTICULATION ASSOCIATION May 19, 2020 Bonita C. Jacobs, Ph.D. President University of North Georgia](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042413/5f2ce6c7f06bf557b065c208/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
WE ALL KNOW!
* Nearly half of 4-year students start out in 2-year
institutions
* 80% of 2-year students plan to complete a bachelor’s
degree
* Only 13% do so within 6 years

THE THREE STAGES OF TRANSFERA dissertation by Karen R. Owens, Ph.D., 2007,
University of South Florida
Research questions asked community college students:
* What transfers expect the semester before they
transfer
* Their perception at mid-term of their first
semester of transfer
* Their recommendations after they completed
their first semester at their new institution.

DO WE EXERT THE SAME AMOUNT OF
ENERGY IN TRANSFER STUDENT SUCCES
AS WE DO IN FIRST-YEAR STUDENT
SUCCESS?
Yes, this applies to both community
colleges and universities…

ADVISING
Students need time with the academic
advisor as early as possible to resolve issues
of transferability and applicability
What about before they transfer?
Guided pathways & intrusive advising

A place to go for direction!

STUDENT MONEY MANAGEMENT
CENTER
Data is clear: students who leave for financial
reasons less likely to graduate than those who
leave for academic reasons!
Must work closely with financial aid and across
all areas of campus.

ADVANCEMENT AND FUNDRAISING
Alumni giving measures campus affinity
It begins at orientation
Are we building alumni affinity/student
satisfaction?
4-Year Institutions: Check your alumni giving rate
by those who enter as freshmen vs those who
entered as transfers!
