An initiative at Alamo Colleges District provides step-by-step information for students looking to transfer to a four-year institution, reducing time to transfer and ensuring all credits apply toward their degree. Despite 80 percent of community college students intending to transfer, only one-third of those who started at a community college during the 2015–16 academic year successfully transferred to a four-year institution, a new report found. Just half (48 percent) of those upward transfers earned a bachelor’s degree.
