Excerpt from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center website:
"Despite ongoing recovery efforts of the higher education community to regain pre-pandemic normalcy, there are lingering COVID-19 impacts on transfer enrollment. In particular, community colleges were the most affected sector of higher education during the pandemic with unprecedented declines in freshmen, continuing student enrollments, adult learners, and transfer-in enrollments, which had a ripple effect on overall transfer enrollment across higher education sectors. In fall 2023, we began to see signs of recovery with upward transfers among community college students increasing for the first time since the start of the pandemic."
