The only type of transfer that increased this spring was that among students moving from two-year to four-year colleges, which rose 3%. Transfer within the two- and four-year sectors, as well as from four- to two-year colleges fell dramatically, at 9% and 21%, respectively.
While still preliminary, the data captures information from nearly three-quarters of schools that report to the Clearinghouse. Together, they account for more than half a million transfer students.
