Number of transfer students who graduate from any institution with a baccalaureate degree
Methodology
Numerator: Number of degree seeking, first-time transfer students in a fall enrollment cohort (EMSAS enrollment file) completing a baccalaureate within the next four years (EMSAS completions file)
Denominator: All degree seeking, first-time transfer students in an EMSAS fall enrollment file cohort.
Disaggregation: Institutional sector from which students transferred
Definitions
Transfer Student: A first-time degree-seeking undergraduate student at a postsecondary institution whom had previously (and non-concurrently) been enrolled and completed at least 12 hours at another postsecondary institution. This definition would exclude dual credit students, whom should not be considered first-time students as they are not yet “postsecondary”, and should exclude “summer students” whom should be degree-seeking only at their primary institution.

Limitations and Issues:
Currently available data would provide data only on transfer to Missouri public institutions. No information on Independents.
Further Decision points:
1) Information on Independents and completions on out of state institutions could be accomplished using a) new reporting from Independents or, b) National Student Clearinghouse data for Independents and Out of State institutions.
The methodology and definition do not seem to follow the indicator. The indicator asked for the number of transfer students who graduate from any institution with a baccalaureate degree. It does not ask for the graduation rate of first-time transfer students. There is a significant difference in the amount of work and effort each would take to collect (the former being less difficult). Regardless, it is very important that we have a clear and consistent definition of “transfer student” (it seems reasonable) and that DHE is able to include data from private institutions; it may be worthwhile employing the Clearinghouse to secure more reliable and complete data. In sum, we certainly need clarification on whether this indicator is really asked for the number of transfer students who graduate or the transfer student graduation rate. [University of Missouri]
