My Academic Family, CIC's #Encyclopedia of #University Terms this week is Foundation Year. If you have a #student in your life who has already finished secondary school and doesn't quite have the results they need for the course they're interested in, it's worth looking to see if that course is offered with a foundation year at an institution that is a good fit for them. Foundation years help students build necessary skills and confidence to be able to undertake an undergraduate course. They can be good for non-traditional students from the UK, but are also frequently sought after by students with international qualifications, whether they plan to study in the UK as traditional international students, or will be applying as displaced students. Foundation year programmes can be found on university websites and are applied to through UCAS the same way other undergraduate courses are. If you aren't sure how to talk to the student in your life about university applications, My Academic Family is happy to help!

My book, "Lifting the Veil on Enrollment Management: How a Powerful Industry is Limiting Social Mobility in American Higher Education," includes essays not just from journalists and researchers but also former campus enrollment managers. Don Hossler, who has spent more than 40 years studying enrollment management and spent eight of them serving as the enrollment manager at Indiana University at Bloomington, wrote the third chapter of the book, and served as a key adviser on the project. I am hugely indebted to Don and Jerome Lucido of the USC CERPP (Center for Enrollment Research, Policy and Practice) for all the time they put into the project for little compensation. They offered detailed feedback on each chapter of the book, helping make the book's arguments more nuanced as a result. We did not agree on everything and had many spirited discussions. My inclination was to blow the whole thing up. They spent countless hours trying to show me how enrollment management could be used as a force for a good. Ultimately, our conversations gave me much more clarity about how I wanted to frame the book. Not only did I value their advice and counsel, but their chapters are invaluable in showing that even supporters of the field of enrollment management have serious reservations about how it is too often being practiced now, and have deep concerns about the outsized influence that private enrollment management consulting firms, which have little interest in the public mission of higher education, are having on colleges' admissions and financial aid policies and practices. As Don writes in his chapter, "In these ways, enrollment management policies and tuition discounting all too often accentuate problems in college access and success for low-income students and others who have significant amounts of financial need."

Transfer Tip Tuesday! ⁣ Applying for transfer can be challenging, but you don't have to do it alone! If you are at a community college, make an appointment with your academic advisor to make sure you are on track for transfer. If you are at a 4-year university, or returning to school after an absence, contact the transfer admissions advisor at one of the schools you'd like to attend. They can often help you make the best choices to improve your transfer admission chances. ⁣ #tiptuesday #transfertips #transferstudent #collegetransfer #commonappfortransfer #commonapp #collegeapps #collegeapplications #transfertiptuesday
