Growing enrollment and diversity in incoming classes remains a top priority for administrators. Increases in community college enrollment, paired with shifting demographics that will decrease high school graduation numbers across the country, has made it imperative that transfer students be a critical part of enrollment strategies at four-year institutions.
Join us on Tuesday, July 23, 2019 for strategies on this often-overlooked population and how your institution can thrive in a competitive marketplace. Barriers to entry and common issues transfer students face throughout their transition will be explored so you can discover ways to entice transfer students throughout their college search. Areas of discussion will include:
- Campus visit opportunities
- Articulation agreements
- Community college partnerships and pathways
- Online resources
- The importance of institutional research
- On-campus cross-departmental support efforts
While no one strategy is a silver bullet to increasing yield among transfers, the sum of these parts will help you develop an action plan on how to best leverage these strategies to increase transfer student success on your campus.
