Transfer declines were greatest in the community college sector, which saw a 15.2% loss. By contrast, transfer enrollments at public four-year colleges remained stable from last spring.

It gives an initial glimpse into spring 2021 undergraduate transfer patterns through February 25. This report focuses on year-over-year changes for a national sample of institutions representing 74% of the Clearinghouse’s participating institutions and 8.8 million undergraduate students, of whom approximately 532,000 are transfer students. The NSCRC report series is supported by the Ascendium Education Group and ECMC Foundation.
