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

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 @govista @UTSA

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

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

This is an extensive report from @nycfuture on @CUNY 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 @IthakaSR

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 @CCRINews @RICNews @universityofri

California is adding more bachelor's programs to @CalCommColleges, ones that don't compete with @calstate or @UofCalifornia. bit.ly/3TUwCwj bit.ly/49d5LAT Makes huge sense due to existing vertical transfer barriers. #highered @SaraWeissman @AshASmithNews

Vertical transfer in California is more complex than in many other states due to having 3 independent IHE systems (@CalCommColleges, @calstate, @UofCalifornia). Here's info on recent attempts to address the problems: bit.ly/4a4h4wy #HigherEd #beyondtransfer @DrAishaLowe

In this piece, @MikeNietzel 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

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 @LakelandWI

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 @kuczynski_sarah @nebhe

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?

The best known successful vertical transfer path is dual admission program of @NOVAcommcollege & @GeorgeMasonU bit.ly/3v955P9 Can it be applied to #california: @CalCommColleges & @calstate & @UofCalifornia ? The situation is far more complex. #HigherEd @michaelburke47

"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

This article compares various tech tools for seeing how credits will transfer etc: bit.ly/3P42zAE But check out @CUNY Transfer Explorer (T-Rex bit.ly/3DdeHYR), a national version of which is now being built (bit.ly/3IovT0N) #HigherEd @IthakaSR

Vertical transfer students report more belongingness at their community than their bachelor's colleges: bit.ly/4bZHTTX This program for vertical transfer students in #biology may help increase belongingess after transfer: bit.ly/3Ti9dpo #HigherEd @jlevye

This is a very impressive program being run by @Stanford #STEM grad students, themselves past vertical transfer students, to try to help more vertical transfer students succeed in careers in STEM: bit.ly/42ONgkN #HigherEd

A new report by @NSClearinghouse shows a large increase in fall 2023 transfer, esp. vertical (associate's to bachelor's) transfer, incl. for disadvantaged students, indicating recovery from #Covid pandemic: bit.ly/3TgeMDF bit.ly/48tfB1m #highered @SaraWeissman

Later this yr @IthakaSR is launching a new public nonprofit national website showing how credits transfer & count towards degree requirements at different IHEs starting w. credits of @CSCUnews @SCCommHigherEd @WSACouncil. bit.ly/49JiUTm @MartinKurzweil #HigherEducation

Please see our new article on differences in views on vertical transfer by associate's vs. bachelor's staff & faculty. Hint: they are not the same. bit.ly/3OTuXVZ #HigherEd @CUNY #CUNY
