Definitions
Transfer Student: Various definitions exist. A transfer student might be defined as a degree-seeking undergraduate student at a postsecondary institution whom had previously (and non-concurrently) been enrolled as a first-time degree-seeking student at another postsecondary institution. This definition would exclude dual credit students, whom should 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. Federal financial aid eligibility may create some incentive for students to declare themselves as degree-seeking at concurrent institutions, but this would not likely create meaningful error in statewide or sector-based data.
Health practitioner fields include the following 2 digit CIP codes (6 digit teacher education)
- 34 Health Related Knowledge and Skills
- 51 Health Professions and Related Clinical Sciences
- 60 Residency Programs
- 13.1327 Health Occupations Teacher Education

Limitations and Issues:
- Currently available data would provide data only on transfer among Missouri public institutions.
- Some further discussion required regarding the reporting of transfer from two- to four-year institutions, as well as among four-year institutions
- Minimum hours to be completed at sending institution (e.g. 12) and maximum time-to-degree for completion at receiving institution would be yet to be determined.
The definition of “transfer students” needs to be specific and consistent with 1a2. Also, this double counts with 1Ab. [University of Missouri]
