Building Your Toolkit Part 2: Understanding the Transfer Student Adjustment Process Transfer students face unique challenges while navigating the transfer process from a community college to a 4-year institution. The purpose of this presentation is to introduce research that showcases the barriers that students face. In particular, we will discuss transfer student experiences related to: (1) heuristics of teaching and learning that they had to adapt to in order to successfully navigate new campus environments; (2) information gaps that students encountered in what faculty seemed to expect them to already know; and (3) problems in having to adjust to the differences in the academic demands of the 4-year engineering program. This Event is For: Faculty • Staff |
