Abstract

This paper presents findings from a mixed methods approach to examining vertical college transfer in Illinois. Drawing from quantitative state level data and interviews with Illinois transfer students, this paper explores the transfer process from a student experience perspective to identify the network of factors that impact student mobility. Despite existing state-wide transfer-supportive policy, student perspectives reveal persistent challenges at all stages of the transfer pipeline. This paper offers concrete recommendations for Illinois and other states seeking to improve transfer in their contexts.
