| Abstract | A study was conducted at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) to compare the academic progress of two-year college transfers, senior college transfers, and continuing juniors (natives) at UIUC as measured by mean grade point average (GPA), academic status, and continued enrollment through 2 years after transfer. Study findings, based on data of 835 community college transfers, 540 four-year college transfers, and 4,588 native students, included the following: (1) 2 years after transfer, approximately 38% of the community college transfers and 39% of the four-year transfers had graduated, as had 58% of the native juniors; (2) retention rates were 91% for native juniors, 83% for four-year college transfers, and 82% for community college transfers; (3) two- and four-year college transfer students had similar pre-transfer GPAs (4.28 and 4.20), while native juniors had an accumulated lower division GPA of 3.98; (4) both two- and four-year college transfer groups experienced a first-term drop in mean GPA, with the two-year group dropping .61 and the four-year dropping .32; (5) in the fourth semester of study, the community college transfers still enrolled had achieved a mean GPA of 3.93, while the four-year transfers and native students achieved GPA's of 4.04 and 4.05, respectively; (6) 2 years after transfer, 8% of the two-year college group and 4% of the four-year college group had been dropped and had not reenrolled; and (7) native juniors, four-year college tranfers, and community college transfers ranked in descending order, respectively, on mean GPA in almost all of the 12 subject areas studied during the 2-year period.
