UNDERGRADUATE TRANSFER STUDENT ENROLLMENT During the 2015-16 academic year, 15,769 students transferred credits from another institution of higher education into or within the UW System. Of these transfer students, 14,046 (89%) were new transfer students and 1,723 (11%) were re-entry transfer students. New transfer students are students who have not previously enrolled at the institution to which they transferred. Re-entry transfer students are students re-enrolling at a UW institution with transfer credits. Over the last ten years, new transfer student enrollment was the highest in 2012-13, while re-entry transfer student enrollment peaked in 2008-09 (Figure 1). Students transfer within the UW System or from the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS), Wisconsin private colleges and universities, out-of-state colleges and universities, and international colleges and universities. Appendices A and B show the details on new and re-entry transfer students by sending institution (the last college or university from which the student transferred) and receiving institution (the UW institution to which they transferred) from 2011-12 to 2015-16. Appendices C and D show the details on new and re-entry transfer students by sending institution and receiving institution in 2015-16.

As noted above, the majority (89%) of transfer students were new transfer students. The remainder of this report focuses on new transfer students only. Figure 2 shows the number of new transfer students to the UW System by type of sending institution from 2011-12 to 2015-16. Compared to 2011-12, the number of new transfer students from all types of sending institutions decreased in 2015-16.

From 2011-12 to 2015-16, the percentage of new transfer students to the UW System from the Wisconsin Technical Colleges or out-of-state institutions increased slightly, while the percentage of new transfer students from other sources remained unchanged or decreased (Figure 3).

Figure 3 Percent of Undergraduate New Transfer Students to the UW System

by Type of Sending Institution 2011-12 to 2015-16

Both the number of new transfer student applications and the number of new transfer student admissions decreased in 2015-16 (Figure 4). Of the 22,851 new transfer students with completed applications in 2015-16, 19,287 were admitted by UW institutions (an 84% admission rate). Of those admitted in 2015-16, 14,046 enrolled in UW institutions (a 73% enrollment rate). Over the last five years, the admission rate decreased from 86 percent to 84 percent. However, the enrollment rate increased from 71 percent to 73 percent.

Figure 5 illustrates the proportion of new transfer students into or within the UW System in 2015-16 by type of sending institution. Intra-UW System transfers (36%) were the largest source of new transfer students for UW institutions, including transfers among UW 4-Year institutions (17%), from UW Colleges to UW 4-Year institutions (16%), and from UW 4-Year institutions to UW Colleges (3%). The second largest share of new transfers into the UW System, 29 percent, came from out-of-state institutions. New transfer students from the Wisconsin Technical Colleges constituted 26 percent of the total new transfer population. Six percent (6%) of students transferred from Wisconsin private institutions and a small percentage (3%) of students transferred from international institutions.

Forty-three percent (43%) of the students transferring from out-of-state institutions (1,741) were Wisconsin residents. Of these Wisconsin residents, 27 percent transferred from colleges or universities in Minnesota, 13 percent transferred from colleges or universities in Illinois, and 9 percent transferred from colleges or universities in Iowa. Out-of-state institutions sending the most Wisconsin resident transfer students to the UW System were the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities (75) and Winona State University in Minnesota (70). Of the 357 new transfer students from international institutions, 33 (9%) were Wisconsin residents.

New undergraduate degree-seeking students enter as either new freshmen or new transfers. In 2015-16, 32 percent of new undergraduate degree-seeking students in the UW System entered as new transfers. Figure 6 shows the number of new transfer students and new transfer students as a percent of new undergraduate degree-seeking students by the UW receiving institution. UW-Milwaukee received the most new transfer students (2,470), followed by UW-Madison (1,450), UW-Oshkosh (1,240), and UW Colleges (1,230). New transfer students, as a percent of new undergraduate degree-seeking students, ranged from 19 percent at UW-Madison to 57 percent at UW-Green Bay.

UNDERGRADUATE NEW TRANSFER STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS More than two-thirds of new transfer students begin in the fall term. This section focuses on new transfer students who entered in the fall semester of academic year 2015-16 and the characteristics of these students during that semester. Figure 7 shows the distribution of fall 2015 new transfer cohort by student classification. Student classification is based on the total number of credits transferred from one or more transfer institutions. Overall, 79 percent of new transfers entered as sophomores (39%) or upperclassmen (40%) in fall 2015. The percentage of new transfers entering as sophomores or upperclassmen varied from a low of 71 percent from the Wisconsin Technical Colleges to a high of 89 percent from UW Colleges. Appendix E provides the details on the distribution of fall 2015 new transfer cohort to the UW System by sending institution and student classification. Appendix F shows the percentages of new transfer cohort to the UW System by type of sending institution and student classification from fall 2011 to fall 2015.

Figure 7 Fall 2015 Undergraduate New Transfer Cohort

by Type of Sending Institution and Student Classification

Note: Percentages may not add up to 100% due to rounding. The majority of new transfers (81%) were full-time students with a credit load of 12 or more credits (Figure 8). The proportion ranged from 68 percent for students transferring from the Wisconsin Technical Colleges to 94 percent for students transferring from international institutions. Appendix G provides the details on fall 2015 new transfer students by sending institution and full-time/part-time status.

Figure 9 shows the age distribution of the fall 2015 new transfer cohort. Twenty-two percent (22%) of new transfers were under 20 years old, 56 percent were between ages 20 and 24, and 22 percent were 25 or older. The proportion of new transfers who were 25 or older ranged from 8 percent for those from international institutions to 40 percent for those from the WTCS.

Figure 9 Fall 2015 Undergraduate New Transfer Cohort by Type of Sending Institution and Age Group

Note: Percentages may not add up to 100% due to rounding. Overall, 52 percent of the fall 2015 new transfer cohort were female and 48 percent were male (Figure 10). Forty-eight percent (48%) of new transfer students from UW Colleges were female, compared to 56 percent from Wisconsin private institutions.

In the fall 2015 new transfer cohort, 17 percent of students were students of color (Figure 11). Twenty-four percent (24%) of new transfer students from Wisconsin private institutions were students of color, compared to 12 percent from UW Colleges. Of the 1,607 new transfer students of color in fall 2015, 542 (34%) were Hispanic/Latino(a) and 360 (22%) were African American. Appendix H shows the details on the fall 2015 new transfer cohort by sending institution and race/ethnicity. Appendix I shows the details on new transfer students by type of sending institution and race/ethnicity from fall 2011 to fall 2015.

Figure 11 Fall 2015 Undergraduate New Transfer Cohort

by Type of Sending Institution and Race/Ethnicity Group

Overall, 49 percent of fall 2015 new transfer students were first generation college students (Figure 12). New transfer students from the Wisconsin Technical Colleges (61%) and UW Colleges (56%) were more likely to be first generation college students.

Figure 12 Fall 2015 Undergraduate New Transfer Cohort

by Type of Sending Institution and First Generation College Student Status

Note: First generation college student status is based on the following question on the UW System undergraduate application for admission: Has either of your parents earned a four-year college/university degree?”

UNDERGRADUATE NEW TRANSFER STUDENT OUTCOMES Grade Point Average Figure 13 shows the first year grade point averages (GPA) for fall 2013, 2014, and 2015 new transfer students. This GPA reflects the courses that the new transfer students completed during their first year after transfer. The average first year GPA of fall 2015 new transfer students was 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. There has been little change in the average first year GPA for the past three cohorts of fall new transfer entrants. Appendix J details the average first year GPAs of the fall 2013, 2014, and 2015 new transfer cohorts to the UW System by sending institution.

Second Year Retention Rate Another measure of success for new students is the second year retention rate. Of the new transfer students who entered in fall 2014, 73 percent returned in fall 2015. Figure 14 shows that the first to second year retention rates for fall 2012, 2013, and 2014 new transfer students varied by type of sending institution. Fall 2014 new transfer students from UW Colleges had a second year retention rate of 82 percent, while those from Wisconsin Technical Colleges had a second year retention rate of 68 percent. Appendix K provides details on the second year retention rates for the fall 2014 new transfer cohort to the UW System by sending institution and full-time/part-time status. Appendix L shows the second year retention rates for the fall 2014 new transfer cohort by type of sending institution and receiving institution.

Fall 2014

New transfers who entered as sophomores or upperclassmen were retained at a higher rate than those who entered as freshmen (Figure 16). Overall, students who transferred as sophomores or upperclassmen in fall 2014 had a second year retention rate of 75 percent and 79 percent, respectively; while students who transferred at the freshman level had a 58 percent second year retention rate. However, these rates varied by type of sending institution. For example, the second year retention rates ranged from 81 percent for sophomore transfers from UW Colleges to 70 percent for sophomore transfers from the Wisconsin Technical Colleges.
