Abstract	The National Student Clearinghouse Research Center reports on the shifting transfer landscape during COVID-19 in a rapid response report series titled "COVID-19 Transfer, Mobility, and Progress." Two reports are issued per academic term, starting with a first look of the term, followed by the end of term update. As the third in the series, the current report offers a first look into the spring 2021 student transfer patterns as of February 25. It focuses on year-over year changes within a fixed panel of institutions representing 74 percent of the Clearinghouse universe and 8.8 million undergraduate students (including 532,000 transfer students). These preliminary results are updated in the Spring 2021 report (see ED613171). Even before the pandemic turned the higher education landscape on its head, many college students intending to transfer struggled to manage the complexities of available transfer options. This task is particularly daunting for underrepresented student groups. Virus resurgence in late 2020, coupled with its differential economic and health impacts on Black, Latinx, and Native American populations in the U.S. made navigating these transfer options even more difficult. The general dampening of student mobility during the pandemic that was first reported last fall (see ED609850) appears to continue into this spring. However, upward transfers from two-year to four-year institutions have weathered the effects of the pandemic better than all other pathways. This has positive implications for the ongoing efforts to streamline the transfer process in an attempt increase enrollment and improve diversity amidst the pandemic. [For the second report in this series (Fall 2020 Final Report), see ED609897.] (ERIC).
