Enrollment management techniques have been adopted at many four-year institutions as a means of stabilizing enrollments and revenues in an era of diminishing resources. Most often, enrollment management efforts focus on increasing the number and retention rates of students who matriculate in the fall term. This study examined experiences of spring semester transfer students and the institutional practices related to the mid-year transfer process. Results revealed that students themselves and two and four-year institutions can take steps to facilitate the transfer process and the retention of these students.
