Abstract	Community college scholars and practitioners consistently seek ways to support vertical transfer from community colleges to four-year institutions. An emerging practice to streamline coursework transfer is the use of tailored, intrusive pre-transfer advising to increase information access for students still enrolled at the community college. In this article, we explore how one pre-transfer program--the Virginia Tech Network for Engineering Transfer Students (VT-NETS)--improved the transfer pathway in engineering through early integration programming and advising structures that help to streamline vertical transfer. Using a quasi-experimental design, we compare the experience of transfer students who participated in VT-NETS with transfer students that did not participate in the pre-transfer program. Based on our findings, we make practical recommendations that may be useful to community colleges and university partners seeking to establish, improve, or scale up early-integration programs for prospective transfer students.
