Too many policies and practices aiming to improve college access and admissions overlook an important group of prospective enrollees: current college students. Substantial policy attention is placed on supporting college applications and decisions for those applying straight from high school. Even though one million students switch into a new college each year, these transfer students are often overlooked when it comes to improving college access and outcomes. Eighty percent of community college students aspire to earn a bachelor's degree, but only 14% do so. That is because most never transfer. This post discusses results from a study that show when highly selective colleges clearly communicated a guaranteed admissions pathway for community college students, transfers and subsequent bachelor's degree completion increased.
