RD401 - Report on Transfers from Community Colleges at Virginia Public Institutions - December 2012


Executive Summary:
This report provides information regarding students from the Virginia Community College System who transferred to a Virginia public four-year institution of higher education from 2004-05 to 2008-09. The report indicates the number of students who transfer each year, and then breaks them down according to whether they graduated from the four-year institution in two, three, or four years, or whether they had not yet graduated after four years. The number of VCCS transfer students admitted to each higher education institution is not included because the State Council of Higher Education does not require the reporting of this information.

The data tables included in this report provide information about VCCS students transferring to four-year institutions with, and without, the associate degree in the fall terms of 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008. The 2008-09 cohort is the last reported because it is the last cohort to have the full range of four years to graduate (2011-12). The tables also provide numbers of students who did not complete the baccalaureate degree within four years after transfer under the designation “still enrolled/DNG (did not graduate).” These students are not included in the data as of the fifth year after transferring.
