This document summarizes a presentation given at Austin Community College on developing a culture of transfer. It discusses defining elements of a transfer culture, ACC student profiles and top degree programs, transfer data collection and activities between ACC and UT Austin, and ongoing challenges. The goal is to holistically support transfer students through a sustainable, measurable process that improves communication and breaks down barriers between institutions to enhance student success and meet state transfer goals. Developing a strong transfer culture is a win-win for ACC and UT Austin partnerships.
