Smoothing the Path for Transfer Students

Register now for Smoothing the Path for Transfer Students (Links to an external site.), a virtual forum examining how colleges, both 2- and 4- year, can work together to increase transfer students’ chances of success.

What barriers exist? What policies must change? And what unique struggles do students from community colleges face? Find out at our upcoming virtual forum (Links to an external site.).

Students often enter community college with eventual plans to transfer to a four-year institution. Few, however, manage to do so successfully, and those who do face an uphill battle to graduation. With college enrollment in decline — and especially steep for community colleges, in the wake of the pandemic — what can colleges do to fulfill the promise of a four-year degree?

In the Virtual Forum, Smoothing the Path for Transfer Students, a panel of experts gathers to examine the realities of today and offer suggestions for how colleges can improve the transition from community college to a four year university. Our panel will seek to answer:

- How can colleges re-evaluate policies that result in credit loss?
- What barriers block the progress of transfer students, particularly minority and low-income students?
- What partnerships can be formed between community colleges and four-year institutions to help boost enrollment?
