"Transfer students are a growing undergraduate population in higher education. Large numbers of underserved students, low-income, first-generation college students and students of color tend to begin their postsecondary education in community colleges. Yet, many studies show that while students may have intentions to transfer and obtain a bachelor's degree, many do not. It is important to know what transfer students draw upon as resources to be successful in their degree attainment. The purpose of this study was to understand the post-transfer experiences of underserved transfer students related to transitioning after they enrolled at the new institution when existing in a native student paradigm, meaning in an environment normed on native students who began at the institution." -- Abstract.
