HPTP Data Note 3: Filling Gaps about Alternate Transfer Paths
Transfer has become increasingly complex as higher education and student demographics change. Even so, most national datasets and existing research on transfer do not unpack this complexity or examine how race/ethnicity may impact the transfer process. In Data Note 3, CCRI researchers begin to fill these research gaps.

HPTP Data Note 2: Racial Equity as and Transfer Outcome Measure
Research using large-scale national datasets reveals the pervasiveness of the problem of low transfer rates but offers limited information about the underlying reasons for why transfer processes fail, especially for students of color. The tendency to treat transfer and transfer research as race-neutral endeavors masks the extent of inequity in the transfer process. As a result,…

HPTP Data Note 1: Characteristics of Successful Transfer Partnerships
As costs of higher education increase, enrollment in community college and plans to transfer are increasingly common. The partnership between two and four-year institutions plays a role in how accessible and effective the transfer process is for students. In 2018, CCRI started a study on High-Performing Transfer Partnerships (HPTP) that advances knowledge about transfer, and…

CWID Data Note 9: Increasing Associate’s Degree Attainment
A major goal of reverse transfer policies is to increase associate’s degree attainment. In 2017, CWID researchers provided an update on the number of associate’s degrees conferred in CWID states, and found that the results varied by state.

CWID Data Note 8: Degree Types Awarded via Reverse Transfer
Using data from seven CWID states, the Data Note 8 examines the types of associate’s degrees awarded via reverse credit transfer. As universities and community colleges collaborate to award associate’s degrees via reverse credit transfer, it is important to know what type of associate’s degrees students are receiving.

CWID Data Note 4: Increasing Associate’s Degree Attainment
In October 2015, the Credit When It’s Due (CWID) research team summarized associate’s degree attainment outcomes during the first two years of the grant. Data Note 4 reports the aggregate number of degrees conferred via reverse transfer and estimates the potential of reverse transfer to increase state degree attainment.
