Our understanding of transfer students' transition from the community college to the 4-year university has recently expanded. The following presents research on community college transfer students, as well as potential implications based on a recent study on the process of transition for community college transfer students (Flaga, 2002). From a study that tracked students throughout their first year at a 4-year university emerged Flaga's dimensions of transition: Learning Resources, Connecting, Familiarity, Negotiating, and Integrating. The implementations discussed will assist academic and student affairs professionals with developing programs or enhancing current academic advising and programmatic efforts for future transfer students.
