YEAR PUBLISHED: 1991
NOTE: 150 p.
ABSTRACT: Focusing primarily on the period from 1988 to
1990, this articulation report provides information on
students enrolled in Florida's State University System
(SUS) who, prior to enrolling in their respective
universities, attended one of Florida's 28 public community
colleges. Following an overview of articulation in Florida,
a series of 15 tables are provided, presenting information
on students' sex, race, age, date of entry into the
university, hours of credit transferred, and hours of
credit earned at the university; the SUS enrollment rate of
former community college students; grade point averages
(GPA's); student majors; and the performance of associate
in arts graduates at SUS. Highlighted findings include the
following: (1) in fall 1990, there were 64,054 former
community college students at SUS, an increase of over 18%
compared to 1988; (2) in 1990, female students represented
56% of the total transfers from community colleges; (3) the
percentage of white transfer students decreased by 1.6%,
while the percentage of minority students increased
slightly; (4) 82.5% of the 1990 group transferred 60
semester hours or more to the SUS; and (5) 68.2% of the
transfer students earned a GPA of 2.50 or better while
enrolled in the SUS, an increase from 65.4% in 1988. Lists
of community college presidents, university presidents, and
articulation officers are included. (JMC)
