The National Student Clearinghouse Research Center publishes reports highlighting national student transfer patterns and how student mobility is related to persistence, stopout, completion and time to degree. This webinar reviews the latest results and what they reveal about transfer students today. In particular, what are the trends? Why is student mobility important? How many transfers cross state lines? And how can you derive insights from this research to help students in your institution to be more successful?
