Students who transfer between institutions of higher education often experience a transfer penalty or a decrease in the odds of degree completion. While the transfer pathway is deemed a responsibility shared between 2- and 4-year institutions, failures in the transfer process are typically attributed to community colleges. The aim of this study was to examine the post-transfer experiences of STEM community college transfer students with particular emphasis placed on how institutional policies and practices at 4-year institutions contributed to the transfer penalty and poorer attainment rates of this population. Implications for future research and interventions are discussed.

运行STEM指标：四年制大学在转移罚款中的共谋

在高等教育机构之间转学的学生经常会遭受转学罚款或学位结业几率的降低。虽然转移途径被认为是2年制和4年制机构之间的责任分担，但转移过程中的失败通常归因于社区大学。这项研究的目的是研究STEM社区大学转学学生的转学后经历，尤其侧重于4年制院校的制度政策和实践如何导致该人口的转学罚款和较差的成年率。讨论了对未来研究和干预的意义。
