Miami-Dade Community College Urban Transfer Opportunity Program: Ford Foundation Grant Report.
Dunn, Raymond L.; Greb, John T., Jr.
This project report outlines the objectives and achievements of Miami-Dade Community College-North Campus's (MDCC-N) involvement in the Urban Community Colleges Transfer Opportunity Program (UCCTOP). As the first section of the report indicates, the objectives of the project were to: (1) identify the competencies necessary for a successful transfer experience; (2) develop a feedback mechanism that allows for the continuous reassessment of a transferring student preparation program; (3) identify problems transferring students encounter when pursuing upper division studies; (4) remediate transfer problems by formulating appropriate strategies to better prepare these students; (5) reinforce and expand current activities and programs identified as beneficial; (6) create specific instructional modules that provide relevant information and develop skills needed by transferring students; (7) incorporate the modules within the Challenge Center curriculum; (8) design a system to ensure continuity of service from students' pre-entry at MDCC through their transition and adjustment to upper division studies; and (9) build upon and strengthen the university liaison system. Next, the achievements of the project are specified in relation to each objective. The final section identifies areas in which the changes brought about through the UCCTOP program have been institutionalized. Attachments include DACUM (Designing A CurriculUM) materials, a transfer student questionnaire, survey data, and a brochure on a summer institute for college-bound students. (AYC)
