只有25%的社区大学学生在5年内转学到4年制大学，只有17%的学生在转学后的6年内获得学士学位（Jenkins & Fink，2015）。作为回应，社区学院与4年制院校合作起草衔接协议，概述了具体学术课程的转学政策和程序（蒙塔古，2012年）。然而，没有现存的研究已经检查这些衔接协议是否是可读的社区大学生。本研究探讨100衔接协议之间的2年和4年的机构来回答这个问题：社区学院的学生理解衔接协议？研究结果表明，93%的衔接协议是不可读的社区大学生的平均阅读能力，69%的衔接协议写在或超过16年级的阅读水平。从业人员和未来的研究的影响。
ABSTRACT Only 25% of community college students transfer to a 4-year institution within 5 years, and only 17% earn a bachelor’s degree within 6 years of transferring (Jenkins & Fink, 2015). In response, community colleges have partnered with 4-year institutions to draft articulation agreements, outlining transfer policies and procedures for specific academic programs (Montague, 2012). However, no extant research has examined whether these articulation agreements are readable by community college students. This study examines 100 articulation agreements between 2- and 4-year institutions to answer the question: do community college students understand articulation agreements? Findings indicate that 93% of articulation agreements are unreadable by community college students of average reading ability, with 69% of articulation agreements written at or above a 16th-grade reading level. Implications for practitioners and future research are addressed.
