Traditional enrollment and recruitment models do not address an important pattern in the two-year college: the increasing presence of reverse transfers, students who transfer from a four-year to a two-year college. In an effort to fill this gap in the current models, this volume of New Directions for Community Colleges presents vivid profiles of the different types of reverse transfer students-- exploring their reasons for attending, their enrollment patterns, and their educational needs. The authors share their institutions' strategies for recruiting, retaining, and serving reverse transfer students and reveal how the presence of reverse transfer students affects policy-making, at both the institutional and external levels.

This is the 106th issue of the Jossey-Bass series New Directions for Community Colleges.
