Abstract

Contributors to successful student transitions to college must consider: (a) student purposes for seeking a college education, (b) transition challenges to student purposes and the successful transition into academic communities, and (c) assessing transition challenges to changes of student purposes relationships. These issues are addressed in this article, and an assessment scenario to determine the success of transition interventions is provided.
