The days of single college attendance are waning. Current trends in higher education indicate that today’s college students no longer feel a need or obligation to attend one college from beginning to end, but rather find opportunity and excitement in “customizing” an educational plan with courses from multiple institutions of higher education. This new multi-institutional enrollment pattern has attracted a variety of names: “swirling”, “double dipping”, “mix and match”, “campus hopping” and many more. Multi-college attendance can range from a single transfer from one institution to another to multiple transfers to simultaneous enrollment. Cost, convenience and technology are among the many reasons students give for “swirling”, but research shows that with opportunity comes challenge. Can “swirling” result in a comprehensive and coherent education? This Kansas State University College of Education / NACADA-sponsored Webinar presentation will explore the many issues that surround “swirling” and suggest ways in which two and four year colleges can partner to provide strong transfer advising.

Key Points will include:

• An overview of multiple institution enrollment patterns
• Driving forces behind alternative enrollment patterns
• Current research in multi-institutional enrollment
• The benefits of a multi-college path
• The challenges of a multi-college path

At the end of this Presentation, participants will be able to:

• Better understand generational patterns of college attendance.
• Identify the opportunities and challenges that face multi-college enrollments.
• Recognize the value of developing strong relationships between institutions of higher education.
