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: 145 practices drawn from the published literature and from documented partnerships, each verified against its source and anchored to a page. Most of them are recommended in the literature without a reported result, and the practices the firm designed carry no source at all. The tool distinguishes the two, because a provost deciding where to spend a scarce year deserves to know what was shown to work and what is widely advised.

Four modules

Library

Open to everyone

Browse every practice by transfer direction, framework component, 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

Quick read live

Score your institution, or a partnership pair, on the eighteen sub-components of the framework. A twenty-minute quick read against written descriptions of each level, then a profile and a written diagnostic naming what would move each gap.

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

Account required

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

What sits behind each practice

Every entry was read back against the document it came from and anchored to a page, and every entry names what has to be true before the practice can start, who can decide it, and how it fails.
