The report highlights several reasons for this dramatic decline in transfer student numbers, but one of the most significant is the lack of support that transfer students receive from their new institution. In many cases, these students are not made to feel welcome or valued, and they often have difficulty getting the information they need in order to be successful. As a result, they either drop out or never enroll in the first place.This is where AI can help. By using data collected from previous transfer students, AI can provide personalized support and guidance that helps new transfer students navigate the process more effectively. Additionally, AI-powered chatbots can be used to answer common questions and direct students to the resources they need. And finally, AI can be used to identify at-risk transfer students and provide them with targeted support in order to increase their chances of success.
The National Student Clearinghouse Research Center recently reported that transfer student enrollment has continued to drop year over year, showing a 10 percent decline. This is especially true for traditional college-age students aged 18-24, where 13.6 percent less students transferred to a college or university. Fewer students than ever before are successfully transferring between institutions. Notably, the majority of these transfer losses according to the same report are occurring at community colleges, which have seen the vast majority of total enrollment losses among all higher education providers.
With AI-powered tools, it's easier than ever to provide the personalized support that these students need in order to be successful.
