Attitudes Toward Students

This study allowed us to determine differences in advisors' attitudes toward students who matriculate at their 4-year institutions (native students), students who transfer from community colleges, and those that come from other 4-year institutions. Results show that advisors view transfer students to be less prepared, less motivated, less knowledgeable about requirements and procedures, and less able to adjust to the upper-division academic environment. Potential consequences of advisors' attitudes are discussed along with suggested avenues for addressing them.
