Community college is a gateway to higher education for many, but Latinx and low-income students face transfer barriers. Though millions enroll in California each year, only a small percentage transfer within six years. Research shows university proximity is crucial, impacting transfer especially for minoritized and low-income students. This session explores how distance hinders transfer-motivated students and will offer solutions for rural communities to improve transfer rates.
