More students are transferring with an ADT

Source: Authors' calculations using MIS data and the CCC National Student Clearinghouse data match. NOTES: The denominator is the number of students who transferred in a given year. Restricted to students who successfully completed at least 12 units as a non-special admit student in any college in the system and who were enrolled in the system in the year prior transferring to a four-year institution. As a reference, our sample includes 94,000 students who transferred in academic year 2019–20, which is about 70 percent of the 134,000 transfers reported in the CCC Student Success metrics that year. Students are considered "transfer-ready" if they have completed at least 60 transfer-level units including transfer-level math and English with a GPA of at least 2.0. ADT stands for Associate Degree for Transfers and AA/AS for a local Associate degree.
