Abstract	The report expands knowledge about Texas Latino students while providing higher education institutions and policymakers across the country with actionable information to help more Latino students graduate. Stakeholders in Texas have diverse strategies to improve the pathways to college completion. However, too often discussion on transfer pathways focus on segments and stakeholders to blame for breaks in the pathway. The purpose of this report is twofold: (1) to reframe the options to improve college pathways from blame to shared ownership and action; and (2) to support discussions translating effective institutional practices into policy strategies that can improve the transfer pathway for Latino and other post-traditional students in Texas. The report highlights four areas between and within institutions where state policy might improve Latino student transfer and success: (1) transferability of credits; (2) data sharing; (3) access to financial aid; and (4) faculty involvement.
