Transfer Intensive

The Aspen-AASCU Transfer Student Success Intensive is a year-long program for leaders and teams from pairs of community colleges and four-year institutions to develop scaled plans to improve transfer student outcomes. 

Introduction

Each year, 10 to 15 pairs of colleges—composed of one American Association of State College and Universities (AASCU) four-year institution and one community college—work together to build a Strategic Transfer Excellence Plan (STEP). The plan is designed to reform transfer practices so that many more students who begin in the community college can successfully transfer and attain a bachelor’s degree. Over 12 months of virtual sessions, participants learn from research presentations, examine customized data reports, and engage in facilitated conversations in order to create and revise plans to implement research-based strategies to improve transfer student success. The program is free for all participants, thanks to the generous support of Ascendium.
