Abstract	The understanding of Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) students, beyond stereotypes, has been limited (Museus, 2009). Although literature on transfer students has grown, the limited research on AAPI transfer students is lacking. A more accurate portrayal of their academic progress needs to be examined. One of the ways to better understand academic progress will be to critically analyze transcripts of AAPI transfer students to better understand how they navigate through higher education. Utilizing Critical Race Theory, myth of the model minority, and transfer shock, this study will provide literature for educators to better understand the experiences and to better serve diverse students' needs. The purpose of this study was to describe the demographic and academic progress of AAPI transfer students at a large Midwest institution. Some of the results included that the graduation rates for AAPI students (native and transfer) were comparable to other students of color groups, and that AAPI transfer students experienced transfer shock.
