California has embraced transfer between the state's community colleges and universities as a key mechanism for ensuring a diverse and qualified workforce while simultaneously closing equity gaps and promoting economic mobility for its residents. Yet the RP Group's "Through the Gate" transfer study finds that each year, nearly 60,000 California community college students who demonstrate the determination and academic ability to transfer do not make it to university. Who is more likely to get stuck? Students historically marginalized by our higher education systems. These "high-leverage" learners--students whose course taking indicates they are close to transfer--commonly shared that four key factors impact their readiness for university. At the same time, some factors carried more weight for certain groups of students than others. This brief offers community college practitioners a snapshot of these differences and strategies for supporting these focal student groups. Community colleges can leverage the student perspectives and insights shared in this brief to improve transfer outcomes for specific student groups experiencing disproportionate impact.
