Greenville University recognized by Phi Theta Kappa for support of transfer students

Published: December 22, 2022

Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society (PTK) named Greenville University to its 2022 Transfer Honor Roll in recognition of the dynamic pathways they have created to support transfer students.

“We are honored to be recognized for our service to transfer students including the admissions process, cost of attendance, campus life, peer reviews, and recruitment practices,” says Victoria Clark, chief enrollment officer at GU. “We believe that our transfer students have the ability to make a big impact on our campus, which is why we offer the PTK scholarship. We work hard to make the process smooth for transfers by providing timely course evaluations, competitive scholarship offers, and excellent customer service.”

The Transfer Honor Roll is determined by 40 key metrics related to the support and success of transfer students, including college cost and financial aid, campus life for transfer, admission practices, and bachelor’s degree completion. The Transfer Honor Roll was based on analysis from the National Student Clearinghouse, and on data submitted through the four-year institution’s profile on PTK Connect, Phi Theta Kappa’s online tool designed to help students find their best-fit colleges and career pathways.

Colleges completing the PTK Connect profile are given a Transfer Friendliness Rating. The Honor Roll is chosen from among the top 25 percent highest-rated colleges.

Spotlighted at the 2022 American Council on Education (ACE) conference, the Transfer Honor Roll recognizes the importance of creating strong transfer pathways that lead to excellence and success among community college transfer students, and this year’s winners had exceptional outcomes, and several of these included:
