Literature

• Access to higher education for diverse populations

• Low income, minority and first-generation students

are more likely to attend community colleges

• Factors such as low tuition, small classes, and a

focus on teaching and learning attract students to

CC’s Data shows CC is a gateway to baccalaureate

degree attainment

• 7 out of 10 community college students expected to

complete a bachelor’s degree but 2 out of 10 actually

do

Theory and DPP

• College Students Adjustment and Transition Theory

• Integration has three distinct stages, separation,

transition, and incorporation (Tinto)

• Students cope with change in three phases (moving

in, moving through, or moving out).

• Adjustment is based on: situation, self, support, and

coping strategies (Schlossberg)

• Student Involvement Theory – Energy into the

educational setting (Astin)
