  1. The Pathway to Success Goal 1 – Initiative 2A Cooperative Programs with Ivy Tech and other Community Colleges

  2. Accomplishments Since 2013-14 Report • Creation of the Chicago Transfer Scholarship (full IL scholarship tuition, renewable). • Expand the Online Transfer Scholarship to include/target CCAF students in CCAF-articulated COT programs (Tech Mgmt, HRD, ACE).

  3. Benchmark Table

  4. Benchmark Progress Detail • Fall 2014, no Chicago Transfer scholarships were awarded. • Awarding for Fall 2015 transfer scholarships will begin April 1, 2015.

  5. Budget Summary • Total funding allocation for 2014-15 was $68,000 • Expenses as of report date • One year staff requests were not funded, money rolled over to scholarships, but none are yet funded. • Anticipated remainder June 30, 2015 is $68,000 – hope to spend it for Fall 2015 Online Transfer Scholarships by Sept 2015.

  6. Accomplishments Since Plan Inception • Previous scholarships offered haven’t yet proven successful and self-sustaining. • In process of marketing through scholarships to the niche market in the Community College of the Air Force.

  7. Looking Ahead - Recommendations • Merge Transfer Taskforce group into Strategic Goal transfer committee • Study the feasibility of creating a “Transfer Hub” that would allow for consistent communication, advisement, and targeted recruitment and retention of both on-line and face-to-face transfers • Update transfer libraries in each academic unit

  8. Foreseeable Roadblocks • The advising conundrum will likely continue to hinder enrollment. Faculty advisors are not contracted to be on campus during the summer months. • There is also little consistency with how transfer students are handled between academic units in regard to communication, advisement, recruitment, etc.

  9. New points of emphasis • Advising • Updating Transfer Libraries • Creating a “Transfer Hub” to unify communications, recruitment, scheduling, etc., for incoming transfer students

  10. Missed opportunities • Advising (not funded) • Updating transfer courses equivalencies so that more automatic evaluations can occur (not funded)

  11. Baseline Recommendation • None at this time

  12. Opportunities for Collaborations • Better collaboration, communication, and shared insights between admissions, financial aid, academic units, and extended learning are needed to best recruit and retain transfer students
