SDCCD Transfer Tracking Data

The data used in the following tables include students who were enrolled at SDCCD during the fall 1994 semester and transferred to a four-year institution from spring 1995 to spring 2002. The transfer data was collected from the National Student Clearinghouse, which captures enrollment data from 80% of 4-year institutions nationwide. The transfer institutions were divided into three categories: out of state/private, California State University (CSU), and University of California (UC). Table 1 shows the duplicated and unduplicated count of transfers by college. If a student enrolled in more than one transfer institution, they are counted more than once in the duplicated count, and only once in the unduplicated count. Of the students enrolled in fall 1994, about 25% transferred to a 4-year institution. Following are some key results from this data.

Table 1: Duplicated and Unduplicated Count of Transfers by College

	Duplicated Count of Transfers	Unduplicated Count of Transfers	Fall 1994 Enrollment
City	3,912	3,010	12,688
Mesa	8,820	6,657	21,818
Miramar	1,923	1,478	9,715
Total	14,655	11,145	44,221

Results

· The top transfer institution for City, Mesa, and Miramar was San Diego State University (City 43%, Mesa 32%, and Miramar 27%).

· As seen in Table 2, Miramar had the highest percent of transfers to out of state and private colleges, City had the highest percent of transfers to CSU, and Mesa had the highest percent of students who transferred to UC.

	Out of State/Private		CSU		UC		Total
	#	%	#	%	#	%
City	1589	40.6%	2018	51.6%	305	7.8%	3912	100.0%
Mesa	2943	33.4%	3729	42.3%	2148	24.4%	8820	100.0%
Miramar	951	49.5%	797	41.4%	175	9.1%	1923	100.0%
Total	5483	37.4%	6544	44.7%	2628	17.9%	14655	100.0%

· Asian students from all three colleges transferred to UC schools more than CSU and out of state or private. African American students transferred to out of state and private colleges more than CSU or UC. This was particularly evident at City where 25% of out of state or private transfers were African American versus 14% of transfers to CSU and 7% of transfers to UC.

· Students from all three colleges over the age of 30 transferred to out of state and private schools more than UC and CSU.

· Female students from Miramar transferred to UC and CSU more than out of state and private colleges. Male students from City and Mesa transferred to UC more than CSU and out of state/private schools.

· City College had the highest percent of African Americans and Hispanics who transferred to a 4-year institution. This is to be expected since City had the highest proportion of African American and Hispanic students enrolled fall 1994.
