Transferability of CCP Credits to Temple University. Institutional Research In-Brief #43 and Profile of Temple Transfer Students. Institutional Research In-Brief.
Grosset, Jane
These two research summaries examine transfer outcomes of former Community College of Philadelphia (CCP) students at Temple University. The first report examines the extent to which the CCP credits earned by 1,644 CCP transfers were accepted at Temple University over several semesters between fall 1979 and fall 1985. Among the highlighted findings are: (1) the average number of CCP credits earned was 47.14, though students leaving CCP in spring and fall 1985 showed a slight tendency to transfer with fewer credits than previous student groups; (2) the average number of credits lost in transfer to Temple was 9.67, representing 20.5% of the students' total accumulated CCP credits; and (3) credit hour losses amounted to an average financial liability of $95.06 for students who earned fewer than 24 CCP credits, and of $574.28 for students who earned more than 23 CCP credits. Temple University transfer guidelines for CCP courses are appended. The second research brief offers a profile of CCP students who applied for admission to Temple University in 1980, 1981, 1984, and 1985, based on data provided by Temple's admissions office. The report traces trends in numbers of applicants, age, credits earned at CCP, grade point average (GPA), placement test scores, student majors, and student gender and race. The report indicates that the total number of students applying to Temple dropped from 750 in 1980 to 607 in 1985. The transfer students had enrolled at CCP for an average of six semesters, and had earned higher GPA's than the CCP student population as a whole. (UCM)
