Importance of Transfers
• Approximately 42% of all new students are transfer students.
• At the urban institutions, transfer students represent 64% and 78% of all new students.
• Transfers are a significant part of enrollment management efforts.
• Admission requirements for transfer students differ from those of first-time entering students.

Literature Review
• Transfer Shock (Hill, 1965)• Transfer and “Native” Students
(Arnold, 2001; Glass & Harrington, 2002; Koker & Hendel, 2003; and Saupe & Long, 1996)
• Transfer in the Urban setting (Bach, Banks, Kinnick, Ricks, Stoering, & Walleri, 1999)
• Role of Associate’s Degree (Saupe & Long, 1996; Townsend & Barnes, 2001)

Original Study - Research Questions
1. Are transfer students more likely to graduate than native students, when controlling for ability and credit hours?
2. What characteristics help explain a transfer student’s likelihood of graduating?
![Page 11: Source and Destination: Transfer Success at a Multi-campus University System AIR 2004 Forum](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/5681389d550346895da0541d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Original Study Findings
• Transfer GPA and Transfer Hours - strong positive indicators of a student’s likelihood to graduate
• Additionally, being an internal UM transfer and/or being female – positive indicators
• Negative indicators - having a post-secondary degree, transferring to an urban institution, and/or being an underrepresented minority.

•University of Missouri data
•Native student attrition•Strength of logistic

Findings
• Regardless of whether a student enters from a 2-year or 4-year institution, Transfer GPA and Transfer Hours continue to be strong positive indicators of graduation.
• When controlling for GPA and hours, 4-year transfers graduate at a higher rate than 2-year transfers.
• When controlling for GPA and hours, students who transfer to a residential institution graduate at a higher rate than students who transfer to an urban institution.
• In an urban institution, 2-year transfers are more successful than 4-year transfers, while in a residential institution, 4-year transfers are more successful.
• For 2-year transfers, obtaining the Associate’s of Arts degree is a positive indicator of graduation at an urban institution.

Discussion & Future Research Focus
• Transfer assimilation and articulation (AA, 42-hr)
• Transfer admission standards• Difference in success of 2-year and 4-year
students transferring to urban and residential campuses.
• Shared responsibility of all institutions and disciplines
• Ideas or modifications for future studies
