Examining Transfer Students' Identity and Experiences After Transfer

• In Event: General Conference Roundtables
  In Roundtable: Table 53: Transfer Students' Identities and Experiences

Abstract

In this roundtable, we present data about vertical and horizontal transfer students’ academic and social experiences at a public four-year institution. We also explore the concept of identity and how transfer students’ understanding of their status or label of “transfer student” at their receiving institution may influence their experiences.
