This article finds transfers to @calstate system are similar to students who are enrolled in @CalCommColleges, but this isn't the case for @UofCalifornia system. More research is needed to find out why this is the case. bit.ly/3K20fXX @PPICNotes #highered

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

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 @IthakaSR

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.

This @EdNCES 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: @AIRInforms #highered Transfer from 1 IHE to another is very common.

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

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
