Swanigan's experience highlights a critical challenge faced by many community college students: the lack of clarity in transferring credits to four-year institutions, leading many to withdraw.
Statistics suggest that only 13% of community college students attain degrees from four-year schools in eight years, indicating significant barriers to transfer.
Community colleges serve 41% of U.S. undergraduates, with many planning to transfer, but faced with bureaucratic hurdles that complicate their journey.
Experts note that the opaque nature of transfer policies contributes to the struggles faced by students like Swanigan, who withdraw in frustration.
