Council Member Rita Joseph raises questions about the early college program's acceptance letter and seeks data on transfer students' experiences.
- For the 2023 academic year, the welcome letter varied based on the student's GPA and their application invites.
- Some early college students could enter with an associate's degree and acquire transfer status during the application process.
- The percentage of these students annually applying with transfer status will be clarified in a follow-up.
- Joseph suggests using data on transfer students to enhance student support and success.

I was gonna touch on that because I wanted to ask the question your early college program, what does that student's acceptance letter look like?
1:27:18
Because it's gonna look different.
1:27:19
They're already coming in with college credits.
1:27:22
What does that look like in already having that experience and being on campus, interacting with college professors, and all that?
1:27:28
What is there a a acceptance letter look like?
UNKNOWN
1:27:36
Well, so for this year, the welcome letter looked like the 2 versions that you thought.
1:27:40
Right?
1:27:40
And so it would be dependent on their GPA, what what they were invited to apply to.
1:27:45
So there's some portion of those early college students annually who have up to an associate's degree and would be entering with that transfer status.
1:27:55
That that comes later in the application process once they decide where they're applying to.
1:28:00
We can definitely follow-up with you on this that statistics on the numbers of students that are applying with that transfer status annually.
Rita Joseph
1:28:08
Right.
1:28:08
Because that's also important data to capture as well because you're starting early on in high school to give them that experience and expose them to higher education.
1:28:17
And when they come to you, they're kind of prepared.
1:28:19
So I would like to see what the transfer students because then they become a transfer student.
1:28:24
What does that look like?
1:28:25
So that's another set of data that you can also use to uplift students.
1:28:29
I like that.
1:28:30
I like that.
