  1. Student Success in the 21st Century: How the Conflict between Retention and Mobility Influences who Graduates from a Large Public University Mary Anne Baker, Exec. Director for Retention and Student Support Todd Schmitz, Exec. Director for University Reporting & Research Vicki Roberts, Assoc. Vice President for Institutional Development & Student Affairs Scott Evenbeck, Dean of University College, IUPUI Indiana University

  2. Student Success in the 21st Century: “An examination of attendance patterns reveals increasing complex configurations…Understanding these patterns is particularly important for enrollment management at the state system and institutional levels.” Adelman, 2004, p .v

  3. OBJECTIVES • Understand how retention and mobility of students affects enrollment and graduation success at Indiana University • Analyze change in enrollment mix of beginner and transfer students • Describe the relationship between new mix and retention and graduation rates • Discuss how these changes might affect enrollment management programs

  4. Types of Transfer • True Transfer —Attend another institution, leave that institution, and enroll at IU • Continuing Student Transferring Courses from Another Institution —Remain enrolled at IU, but take courses from other institutions (Summer or Distance Ed) • Simultaneous Enrollment —Enrolled at two institutions of higher education as the same time • Intercampus Transfer --Transfer between IU campuses

  5. Enrollment Mix of New Beginner and True Transfer Students 2000-01 to 2005-06 • Transfer Percent of Entering Cohort Increased 4.6% for Indiana University • Residential Campus —Bloomington—Increased 1.5 % • Urban Campus —IUPUI—Increased 6.6% • Regional Campuses —East, Kokomo, Northwest, South Bend and Southeast—Increased 8%

  6. Enrollment Mix of New Beginner and True Transfer Students 2000-01 to 2005-06

  7. Enrollment Mix of New Beginner and True Transfer Students 2000-01 to 2005-06

  8. True Transfer 2005-06 • From Community College of Indiana • Residential Campus—12% • Urban Campus—24% • Regional Commuter Campuses—21% • For all IU campuses Top Transfer Institutions are located in Indiana or border state

  9. Intercampus Transfer • In 2005-06 2469 Intercampus Transfer Students (Undergraduate enrollment =75,147) • Residential campus has a out-migration intercampus transfer pattern • Regional campuses have nearly equal numbers of in- and out-migration • Urban campus has in-migration pattern—includes completing Allied Health programs

  10. Net Migration of Intercampus Transfers

  11. Retention to Year 2 • Comparing Campuses • Higher for Residential campus • Equal for Urban and Regional campuses • Comparing Transfers to Beginners • Transfer lower on Residential campus • Transfer slightly higher for Urban and Regional campuses

  12. Transfer Retention Rates: Year 2

  13. Beginner Retention Rates: Year 2

  14. Baccalaureate Degrees Earned • 21% of IU Baccalaureate degrees earned by True Transfer students • 13% on Residential campus • 33% on Urban campus • 33% on Regional Commuter campuses

  15. Transfer and Beginner Graduates— All Campuses

  16. Transfer and Beginner Graduates— Type of Campus

  17. Summary • At Indiana University in the last five years undergraduate students are: • More likely to have transferred from other institutions • Increased percent of transfers from Community College of Indiana • More likely to transfer among IU campuses • Residential campus more transfer out than in • Urban campus more transfer in than out • Regional campuses nearly equal transfer in and out

  18. Summary • Retention to Year 2 • On the Residential campus, transfer students are less likely to be retained to year 2 than are beginners (6.6% lower for 2004-05—87.1% for beginners, 80.5% for transfers) • On the Urban and Regional campuses, transfer students are retained at a slightly higher rate ( 2.3% higher for 2004-05-- 62.5% for transfer students, 60.2% for beginners)

  19. Summary • Transfer students earned 21% of Baccalaureate Degrees in 2003-04 • 13% on Residential campus • 33% on Urban and Regional campuses

  20. Implications for Enrollment Management • Need new ways of tracking student success • Within the institution—need ways of evaluating success in addition to six-year graduation rates and retention to year 2. • Between institutions—need ways to track students as they move among institutions • Defining “success” based on multi-institution participation

  21. Implications for Enrollment Management • Need new ways to recruit transfer students • Need to gain better understanding of the “best practices” for meeting the needs of transfer students • Need improved statewide, web-based transfer sites to provide student access about course transfer • Need to develop 21st Century Enrollment Management models to guide our work.
