New Playbook Shares Practical Knowledge for Enhancing Transfer in Iowa
The new Playbook for Supporting Community College Transfer to Iowa Private Institutions highlights the innovative projects and significant policy changes that Iowa’s private colleges and universities have made to support transfer from Iowa’s community colleges. Thanks to a major grant from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations and Teagle Foundation, these coordinated efforts have created more consistent transfer-friendly policies across the state. The Playbook shares examples from colleges, such as Grand View University’s Explore Your Life Purpose event for students interested in psychology and Loras College’s transfer orientation course. Specific background information on policies such as transfer majors, reverse transfer, and the guaranteed admission agreement provide in-depth context for experienced and novice professionals alike.
The Playbook is a shared resource for faculty and staff at private colleges and universities, community colleges, the Iowa Department of Education, and anyone interested in learning more about Iowa’s transfer landscape. Read it and share it with colleagues to explore the transfer environment at your own institution.
