• In Event: The Contours of Community College Transfer

Abstract

This study leverages longitudinal interviews of transfer-intending community college students and interviews with their advisors and transfer services personnel at the community college and admissions personnel at destination universities. We examine areas of misalignment in information and expectations that contribute to difficulty navigating the transfer process.
