A VERY PERSONAL STORY…

Page 4: LET’S TALK ABOUT TRANSFER · LET’S TALK ABOUT TRANSFER! NEW YORK STATE TRANSFER ARTICULATION ASSOCIATION May 19, 2020 Bonita C. Jacobs, Ph.D. President University of North Georgia

WE ALL KNOW!

* Nearly half of 4-year students start out in 2-year

institutions

* 80% of 2-year students plan to complete a bachelor’s

degree

* Only 13% do so within 6 years

Page 5: LET’S TALK ABOUT TRANSFER · LET’S TALK ABOUT TRANSFER! NEW YORK STATE TRANSFER ARTICULATION ASSOCIATION May 19, 2020 Bonita C. Jacobs, Ph.D. President University of North Georgia

THE THREE STAGES OF TRANSFERA dissertation by Karen R. Owens, Ph.D., 2007,

University of South Florida

Research questions asked community college students:

* What transfers expect the semester before they

transfer

* Their perception at mid-term of their first

semester of transfer

* Their recommendations after they completed

their first semester at their new institution.

ENERGY IN TRANSFER STUDENT SUCCES

AS WE DO IN FIRST-YEAR STUDENT

SUCCESS?

Yes, this applies to both community

colleges and universities…

advisor as early as possible to resolve issues

of transferability and applicability

What about before they transfer?

Guided pathways & intrusive advising

STUDENT MONEY MANAGEMENT

CENTER

Data is clear: students who leave for financial

reasons less likely to graduate than those who

leave for academic reasons!

Must work closely with financial aid and across

all areas of campus.

ADVANCEMENT AND FUNDRAISING

Alumni giving measures campus affinity

It begins at orientation

Are we building alumni affinity/student

satisfaction?

4-Year Institutions: Check your alumni giving rate

by those who enter as freshmen vs those who

entered as transfers!
