Book Description
In Spring 2007, the State Chancellor's Office of the California Community Colleges awarded the Transfer Leadership Center (TLC) study to investigate two-to-four year transfer practices and strategies. As part of the study's qualitative component, research teams from the Center for Student Success of the Research & Planning Group of the California Community Colleges conducted site visits to seven community colleges with higher-than-expected transfer rates. The site visits included extensive interviews and focus groups conducted with students, college counselors, faculty, administrators, classified staff, representatives from special programs, and high school counselors. It should be emphasized that the research focused exclusively on what each of the seven colleges are doing to support and increase two-to-four year transfer. This report presents findings from site visits to Irvine Valley College. Appended are: (1) Irvine Valley College Study Participants; (2) Documents Reviewed for Irvine Valley College Case Study Analysis; (3) Irvine Valley College Descriptors; (4) Irvine Valley College Transfer Indicators; (5) Transfer Investments; and (6) Irvine Valley College's Agreements with Four-Year Colleges and Representative Visits. (Contains 3 figures.)

Book Description
Which factors promote student transfer from California Community Colleges (CCC) to baccalaureate-granting institutions? How do community college practices support this transition? Which student behaviors and characteristics particularly facilitate their movement to four-year colleges and universities? The Research and Planning Group for California Community Colleges (RP Group) investigated these questions through the Transfer Velocity Project (TVP)--the most comprehensive study of community college transfer implemented to date. Because CCCs serve as the primary point of access to postsecondary education understanding and improving the community college transfer function is increasingly a priority for higher education policy-makers, advocates, researchers and practitioners alike, particularly in light of and demographic forecasts of a debilitating shortage of baccalaureate-trained workers in California. This research brief (1) introduces the project's primary components, (2) highlights key findings on institutional factors and student behaviors and characteristics facilitating transfer and (3) informs possible strategies and approaches for improving this transition for California Community College students. (Contains 1 footnote.)

Book Description
Transfer has been a central mission in American community colleges since their inception. Understanding the success of the transfer mission as it relates to student academic preparation; institutional and organizational structures, strategies and practices; intersegmental programs; and state policies has been a continuing quest over the several past decades. This document presents the findings of an extensive review of literature on transfer issues and practices spanning over 100 references. The main purpose for this project is to identify practices that enhance the successful transfer of students from community colleges to four-year institutions. Included in this summary are highlights of the most salient findings of the literature review. They are grouped under several major categories: (1) Community college programs and strategies that affect transfer; (2) Intersegmental strategies and policies for transfer and the role of the state; and (3) Transfer outcomes by student characteristics and behaviors. Appended are: (1) Articulation and Transfer Resources; and (2) California Articulation and Transfer Statewide Partnerships/Initiatives.

Book Description
Which factors promote transfer from community colleges to four-year colleges and universities? What can individuals learn about transfer from tracking cohorts of students? What can they learn from studying colleges that have a strong track record of transferring students? These questions are at the center of a study funded in 2007 by the California Community College State Chancellor's Office, based on a competitive grant competition and grant written by Dr. Andreea Serban, Superintendent/President, Santa Barbara City College. The study has been implemented by the System Office of the California Community Colleges (CCC), the Center for Student Success (CSS) of the Research and Planning Group of the CCC, and California Partnership for Achieving Student Success (Cal-PASS). The study--called the Transfer Leadership Center (TLC)--is directed by Dr. Andreea Serban and administered by the Santa Barbara City College. The study is guided by an Advisory Committee whose members include leading experts on transfer. This report summarizes and considers findings generated by the first phase of the TLC's qualitative study component--case studies of seven community colleges with consistently high transfer rates. This report introduces charts that identify actions and activities that the seven colleges are implementing to promote each transfer factor. These actions and activities--which explain what the colleges are doing--are then associated with specific practices that illustrate how the colleges are doing it. The report includes a section with suggestions for how colleges can use this report. Appended are: (1) Methodology; (2) Interview Protocol Template; (3) Documentation Template; (4) Transfer Rates for Selected Colleges; and (5) Sample Support Programs from Skyline College. (Contains 5 footnotes.)
