Abstract	Undergraduate transfer is a messy and too-often frustrating part of college for faculty, staff and, above all, the students themselves. Students are discouraged by unclear and complicated curriculum requirements. Faculty are reluctant to accept courses from another institution and question the preparedness of transfer students. Advisors are diverted from assisting students by the administrative minutia of course equivalencies and articulation agreements. As a result, transfer is often perceived merely as a bothersome technical procedure and so it is devalued. This article focuses on vertical transfer from community colleges to senior institutions, as community college students still constitute the majority of transfer students and play a crucial access role for students underrepresented in higher education. It discusses a few of the practices and policies that could improve transfer rates for community college students to bachelor's-degree granting institutions. (ERIC).
