VCCS Transfers to Old Dominion University

VCCS Presidents’ Meeting

May 24, 2002


2

Tradition of Transfer

• Long history of students transferring to Old Dominion from VCCS institutions

• Some information about how they fare through “Guideline 8” reporting, but . . .


3

Need for A More Comprehensive Study

• Guideline 8 only includes students:– Who enter the University in fall

semester– As degree-seeking students

• Because many students initially enter as non-degree students across all three semesters, the need for a more comprehensive study was identified


4

New Transfer Study Design

• Included all students with prior VCCS courses transferred to Old Dominion

• Enrolled at ODU for the first-time between 1990-91 and 2000-01

• Had VCCS degree or most transfers hours from a VCCS institution


5

Definitions• Main VCCS institution - campus

from which the highest number of transfer hours taken and/or from which the student earned an associate’s degree

• Students starting at ODU, who later transferred VCCS courses were eliminated from the analysis

• VCCS degrees awarded were obtained from the VCCS Research office


6

Categories of Analysis• Type of VCCS Degree (AA/AS,

AAS, no degree)

• First Year of Enrollment at ODU

• Discipline of Associate’s Degree
