Lateral transfers experienced a 0.3% increase among two-year colleges and a 2% increase among four-year students. However, upward transfers, which involve students transferring from two-year colleges to four-year institutions, declined by 7.5% last academic year, representing a decrease of approximately 37,600 students.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_24889\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24889\" style=\"width: 626px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24889 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/timelycare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Changes-in-transfer-enrollement-by-pathway.png\" alt=\"Changes in transfer enrollment by pathway\" width=\"626\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timelycare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Changes-in-transfer-enrollement-by-pathway.png 626w, https:\/\/timelycare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Changes-in-transfer-enrollement-by-pathway-300x188.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24889\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chart: Jeremy Bauer-Wolf\/Higher Ed Dive Source: National Student Clearinghouse Research Center Get the data Created with Datawrapper<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>The clearinghouse data also highlights racial disparities in transfer trends.
