Because of the unique mission of community colleges, transfer and articulation practices influence student success as well as the quality of education provided at those colleges.
One of the central elements of the mission of community colleges is preparing students for upper-division-level course work at a four-year institution. This transfer function involves providing students with a level of education comparable to the first two years of education at four-year institutions as well as information about upper-division programs and an institutional atmosphere that supports college transfer students. In addition to the programs at individual colleges, interinstitutional cooperation, articulation agreements, and transfer programs designed to ease student transfer efforts are important elements of the process. In many ways, institutional programs and state-wide articulation agreements play as much of a role in the success of student transfer as the quality of the colleges' education.
The following publications reflect the current ERIC literature on transfer programs and articulation agreements. Most ERIC documents (publications with ED numbers) can be viewed on microfiche at over nine hundred libraries worldwide. In addition, most may be ordered on microfiche or on paper from the ERIC Document Reproduction Service (EDRS) by calling (800) 443-ERIC. Journal articles are not available from EDRS, but they can be acquired through regular library channels or purchased from the University Microfilm International Articles Clearinghouse at (800) 248-0360.
These articles all discuss how the programs and institutional climate impact the transfer rates of community college students.
