Transfer practice library and diagnostic

What the evidence says works in transfer between two-year and four-year institutions, how your institution measures against it, and what to do first.

The tool is built on the L&A Transfer Improvement Library: 122 practices drawn from the published literature and from documented partnerships, each verified to a page in its source and graded for the strength of its evidence. Most of them are recommended with no reported result. The tool says so every time, because a provost deciding where to spend a scarce year deserves to know the difference between what was shown to work and what is widely advised.

Four modules

Library

Arriving first

Browse every practice by transfer direction, framework component, evidence grade, who holds the authority to act, and effort. Each card carries the mechanism, the preconditions, the failure modes and the page in the source.

Diagnose

In build

Score your institution, or a partnership pair, on the eighteen sub-components of the framework. A twenty-minute quick read or a full practice inventory, with a profile and a written diagnostic.

Plan

In build

Turn the diagnostic into a sequenced plan in four phases, ordered by dependency, authority and time to effect, with owners by role and exports to Excel and Word.

Ask

In build

Put questions to an assistant that answers only from the library and your own results, cites the practice and its page, and states the evidence grade every time.

How the library grades evidence

The grade applies to the claim, not to the document it sits in. Every practice shows its grade beside a plain-language gloss, and the assistant states it in every recommendation.

A1 of 122
Evaluated with outcome or causal data across several sites.
B29 of 122
Implemented at a named institution, with a reported result.
C92 of 122
Described or recommended, with no reported result.
