  In Roundtable Session: Issues in Community College Transfer

Abstract

The proposed study models transfer behavior using a national sample of students who initially enrolled at four-year institutions. Descriptive findings uncover salient characteristics associated with both reverse and lateral transfer as well as inequities in transfer. HGLM analyses identify student- and institution-level characteristics related to the odds of transfer. Findings have direct implications for both policies and practices focused on creating more equitable conditions for transfer and degree completion.
