Online courses that are focused on the first-year experience and students in transitionNational Resource Center for the First-Year Experience and Students in TransitionCourse "Understanding and Supporting Transfer Students"
Transfer students are a significant and growing undergraduate population on campuses across the U.S. Promoting transfer student success requires institutional agents to understand and support students’ navigation of the transfer process and their acclimatation to new institutions. As such, this course will provide foundational information about transfer, including national trends in transfer. Participants will also explore characteristics of transfer students, assets they bring with them to their institutions, and institutional barriers that impact their success. Participants will engage in learning activities and create equity-minded actionable plans that reinforce support for transfers. No textbook is required for this course.
