Maryland Transfer Student Success Intensive Practice Assessment (Part 2)

Please complete this evaluation on current transfer practice in partnership with your partner institution for the Maryland Transfer Intensive. Results from this survey will be used throughout the Intensive to inform internal discussions as a partnership on the current and future state of transfer and explore the impact of the program.  


This evaluation should be completed by everyone in your Intensive partnership from both institutions (except the presidents, who will complete a separate survey) to the best of their current knowledge on each topic. The evaluation will be administered in two parts as aligned with phases one and two of the intensive. Your team completed part one of the assessment at the beginning of the Intensive. Each part focuses on transfer practice in terms of prioritization, advising, and pathways efforts, both institutionally (part one) and within your partnership (part two).   


To complete the evaluation, please read each statement in full and choose a response that best describes the degree to which your partnership have adopted each practice based on the scoring rubric provided: Not Present, Beginning, Emerging, Established, Advanced, and Unknown. 


The survey should take roughly 8-10 minutes to complete.

Transfer Prioritization

Across our partner institutions...
We have a shared, president-led vision for the success of transfer students that informs our strategies and investments.
Senior leaders and practitioners meet routinely and are well-equipped to advance the major reforms needed to realize our shared transfer vision.
Our reforms address needs across the full transfer student experience, including before and during community college, during the transition to university, and throughout university and beyond.
We have established specific and measurable goals and priorities regarding transfer student success.
Disaggregated data on transfer student outcomes is readily and regularly shared.
Transfer student data is reviewed regularly to tailor transfer strategies to student and region needs and continuously improve practice and policy.
We have the financial resources, human capital (e.g., advisors, dedicated transfer staff, etc.), and other resources (e.g., technology, communications support, etc.) needed to serve transfer students well.

Tailored Transfer Advising & Supports

Across our partner institutions...
Dedicated staff support transfer students before, during, and after the transition from the community college.
Advising and other leaders frequently meet to review processes and coordinate advising and other non-academic supports across the transfer student journey.

Domain 3

Transfer Academic Programs & Pathways

Across our partner institutions...
Leadership supports and creates routines for faculty to build cross-sector relationships, develop and maintain program pathways, and align curriculum and instruction.
Program pathway development results in the following features: courses are frontloaded for students to inspire early major exploration, commitment, or changes; at least one major-specific course each term of community college; and program-specific, college-level math and English​​ in the first year.
Access for timely degree completion of transfer students is supported through intentional practices such as reserving spots for transfer students in competitive majors, providing community college advisors and students clear information about application requirements, and partnering to provide critical courses unavailable at the community college.
