Program Mission
Statement
Intended Outcomes
The mission of the Transfer
Center and the Transfer
Opportunity Program (TOP)
is to provide comprehensive
support services and a
seamless transition for
students seeking to transfer
to four-year colleges and
universities. We believe that
all students should be given
the opportunity and the
information needed to
continue their education at a
four-year institution should
they wish to do so.
What will students be able to think,
know, do, or feel because of a given
educational experience in a course or
a program?

provide students with
opportunities to develop

Review number of student
contacts with four year
institutions through
appointment log and individual
student files to determine
meetings with four year
campus representatives for
years fall 06- fall 09.
What do the data tell us about your
process in terms of goals,
outcomes, and means of
assessment, defined criteria for
success, implementation process,
and data collection?


Of all students that
secured an
appointment, 82%
kept the meeting.
Therefore, the
process of
providing
opportunities to
develop contacts
with four year
representatives is
working.

PSL0 #2

services that increase the
persistence towards transfer
of under-represented students

helping develop strong study
skills that lead to academic
success.
Review files of freshman TOP

success in completing the first
semester at OCC. (sample
semesters fall 2007 and fall
2008)

(Becoming a Master student)
during their first semester.
(sample semesters fall 2007
and fall 2008)
70% of TOP students will
successfully complete their
first semester goals at OCC.



There is no record
of quantifialble
data for students
who could not
secure an
appointment.
Therefore, the
goal of 70% is not
a comprehensive
indicator of
meeting student
demand because
its not an adequate
method of tracking
the requests and
opportunity for
appointments for
all students.
For fall 2007,
there was a total of
91 TOP students.
Of the 91 total
students, 83
completed their
first semester

Even though the
level of counseling
support meets the
specific demands
stated for the fall
semester, and the
retention rate is high,
there is a need to
build into the
program a way to
