Descriptive statistics are presented on students in Florida's State University System (SUS) who were previously enrolled in one of the state's 28 community colleges. A series of 16 tables presents fall term data for 1984 through 1986, including information on students' sex, race, and age; SUS enrollment rate of former community college students; credits transferred; student distribution in terms of the university at which they were registered and the community college from which they transferred; grade point average (GPA); and student majors. Highlighted findings include the following: (1) in fall 1986, 49,613 former community college students were enrolled in the SUS, representing 47.4% of all SUS undergraduates; (2) between 1984 and 1986, the percentage of white students increased by 1.5%, while the percentage of black students decreased by 0.5%; (3) in 1986, 70.8% of the transfer students were in their first, second, or third year of study at the SUS, a decrease from 77.1% in 1985 and from 79.2% in 1984; (4) 79.8% of the students transferred 60 semester hours or more to the SUS; (5) 62.9% of the transfer students earned a GPA of 2.50 or higher while enrolled in the SUS; and (6) the GPA of community college transfers very closely paralleled that of native SUS students.
