"Illinois Board of Higher Education, will use[Lumina]$750,000 grant to...create a system for community college students seeking to transfer into a 4-year IHE...the 1st statewide direct admissions program targeted at community college transfers" #HigherEd bit.ly/3IvPc8t

The best known successful vertical transfer path is dual admission program of NOVAcommcollege & @georgemasonu bit.ly/3v955P9 Can it be applied to #california: California Community Colleges & The CSU & University of California ? The situation is far more complex. #HigherEd Michael Burke

A student transfer situation not often discussed: cases in which students have to transfer because their college closes. bit.ly/49PUIim What happens to these students' credits & how likely are they to graduate?

Quote of the week: "Efficient and reliable transfer pathways are key to achieving the equitable and affordable higher education system of the future." bit.ly/3Vkdwly #BeyondTransfer #HigherEd Sarah Kuczynski, PhD NEBHE

One way to make it easier for vertical transfer students is to locate the destination bachelor's programs on the campus of the community college: bit.ly/490PJdA #HigherEd Lakeland University

In this piece, Mike Nietzel does a beautiful job providing data about & explaining how very selective IHEs could do a much better job with accepting transfer students, benefitting these IHEs as well as the transfer students: bit.ly/4a4e1o6 #highered Forbes

Vertical transfer in California is more complex than in many other states due to having 3 independent IHE systems (California Community Colleges, The CSU, University of California). Here's info on recent attempts to address the problems: bit.ly/4a4h4wy #HigherEd #beyondtransfer Aisha Lowe

California is adding more bachelor's programs to California Community Colleges, ones that don't compete with The CSU or University of California. bit.ly/3TUwCwj bit.ly/49d5LAT Makes huge sense due to existing vertical transfer barriers. #highered Sara Weissman Ashley A. Smith

Even tho state of #RhodeIsland has 1 community college, 1 public college, & 1 public univ, its community college students still face challenges when trying to transfer vertically to bachelor's programs: bit.ly/4czFZtB #HigherEd Community College of Rhode Island Rhode Island College URI

This is an extensive report from Center for an Urban Future on The City University of New York tools & policies that facilitate student transfer among its 20 colleges, & how to further enhance them, including high praise for CUNY Transfer Explorer (T-Rex): bit.ly/3TRnppC bit.ly/3DdeHYR #cuny Ithaka S+R

IHE staff who support transfer students need to have many different skills. For an excellent list see: bit.ly/4adncCX #HigherEd #beyondtransfer NISTS

The The CSU system is decreasing gen ed requirements for freshmen to 34 credits, same as for transfers, & similar to University of California (bit.ly/3POuqVF), moving #California 1 step closer to a state-wide gen ed requirement, a big help to transfer #highered Ashley A. Smith

Two Hispanic-serving IHEs (one a 2-year & one a 4-year) are trying to address the problems faced by vertical transfer students by partnering closely together & blurring the lines between them: bit.ly/4ahx4vx #HigherEd Northwest Vista College UT San Antonio

Big leaks in vertical (community to bachelors college) transfer occur in every state, incl. #NorthCarolina, & need to be addressed: bit.ly/3PRmKSs We must help each student transfer at point in pipeline that is appropriate for them: bit.ly/3rmrO8t #HigherEd

As pointed out by Steven Mintz , to help vertical transfer students, credits need to transfer as applying to gen ed & major requirements. If 4-yr IHEs can't do this soon, then "Make it easier for 2-year institutions to grant bachelor's degrees" bit.ly/3U9OdRT #HigherEd

This NCES report bit.ly/3Je8lfB found, among 2009 9th graders who ever enrolled in postsecondary education, by 2021 (12 yrs after 9th grade) 30% had transferred between postsecondary IHEs: American Institutes for Research #highered Transfer from 1 IHE to another is very common.

Is increasing talk about giving #highered students credit for all kinds of prior learning (CPL), but what about the AACRAO finding that"54% of institutions will not accept transfer CPL awarded at another institution" ?bit.ly/3xyXtGJ A huge problem for transfer students.

July 1 a new rule will require colleges getting federal student aid "to provide all students who request an official transcript w. one that covers the payment periods for which they’ve paid in full" bit.ly/3VWbecA hugely helping transfer students. #highered Ithaka S+R

This article describes a wonderful program for vertical transfer students run by UCLA (bit.ly/4aCIhqn). Would that all vertical transfer students got this kind of support, consideration, and respect! #highered #California

This article finds transfers to The CSU system are similar to students who are enrolled in California Community Colleges, but this isn't the case for University of California system. More research is needed to find out why this is the case. bit.ly/3K20fXX Public Policy Institute of California #highered
