Fall 2012 School Attendance for UMass Boston Admitted Transfer Students WhoDid Not Enroll at UMass BostonIn fall 2012, UMass Boston admitted 4,835 students with freshman standing. Of these, 1,267 or about 26% chose to enroll. UMass Boston also admitted 2,909 students with transfer status. Of these 1,828 or about 63% chose to enroll. Using National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) the Office of Institutional Research and Policy Studies (OIRP) has completed a report on colleges the freshmen students who did not enroll at UMass Boston attended instead. That report is available on our website at: also used NSC data to track the 1,081 transfer students who were admitted but did not enroll. Of these, the NSC found no record of 447 of the students at other colleges. This does not mean that they were not enrolled somewhere else. The NSC can search on name and date of birth only, so any variation in middle initial, spelling, or name suffix means the student will not be located. The NSC identified 14 of the students as having enrolled at UMass Boston while our records show them as not enrolled. This probably means that the students dropped all classes after we sent an initial file to the NSC but before the end of add/drop.Of the remaining 620, 113 were found at two-year schools. The majority (99) were at Massachusetts schools. Table 1 shows the number of students attending each school sorted by number of students attending. An alphabetical list will be provided in the Appendix beginning on page xx.

Of the 507 students who were located at four-year schools, 268 were located at public schools. About two thirds of those (176) were in Massachusetts, and 97 of them were at other UMass campuses. Table 2 presents the numbers of students the NSC located at each Massachusetts four-year institution. An alphabetical listing is in table 6 in the appendix on page 5.Table 2: Students Attending Other Massachusetts Public Four-Year CollegesCollege NameNumber AttendingUniversity of Massachusetts Lowell42University of Massachusetts at Amherst38Bridgewater State University34Salem State University20University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth17Framingham State University12Westfield State University4Worcester State University4Fitchburg State University2Massachusetts College of Art1Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts1Massachusetts Maritime Academy1Total176The largest number of students, 184, attended a private four-year school in Massachusetts. Forty attended Suffolk University and 39 attended Northeastern University either in its regular programs or in its School of Professional and Continuing Studies. Table 3 has the listing of colleges attended by at least five of the students. A complete alphabetical listing is in Table 7 in the appendix on page 5.

The University of Connecticut had six of the students, and the University of Rhode Island had four. No other school had more than three. A complete alphabetical listing is in Table 8 in the appendix beginning on page 6.Finally, 55 students were located at private universities in 20 other states. The University of Hartford had four of the students followed by Salve Regina at three. No other school had more than two. A complete listing is in table 9 in the appendix beginning on page 8.ConclusionThe majority of transfer applicants who were accepted to UMass Boston but chose not to enroll were located by the NSC at other four-year schools in Massachusetts. The majority of students located at four-year schools outside of Massachusetts were from outside of Massachusetts (70%). Among Massachusetts residents who were located at four-year schools, 88% chose a Massachusetts school, and over half of those chose a public school (52%). Our biggest competitors for these students are Suffolk University, Northeastern University, UMass Lowell, UMass Amherst, and Bridgewater State University. Possible reasons driving the decisions about where to enroll for these admitted transfers students who choose to go elsewhere could include cost, geography, program choice, credits acceptance, or other factors. Additional research would be required to identify the actual reasons.Appendix I: Attendance Tables Sorted AlphabeticallyTable 4: Alphabetical Listing of Massachusetts Two-Year Schools AttendedCollege NameNumber AttendingBristol Community College5Bunker Hill Community College25Cape Cod Community College7Everest Institute1Fisher College-Continuing Studies1Lawrence Memorial Hospital, School of Nursing1Massachusetts Bay Community College4Massasoit Community College13Middlesex Community College8Mount Wachusett Community College1North Shore Community College11Northern Essex Community College4Quincy College9Quinsigamond Community College1Roxbury Community College7Southeastern Technical Institute1Total99Table 5: Out-of-State Two-Year Schools Attended College NameNumber AttendingAtlantic Cape Community College1Brookdale Community College1City College of San Francisco1Community College of Rhode Island1CUNY Borough of Manhattan1Nashua Community College2Norwalk Community College1Pasadena City College1Raritan Valley Community College1Scottsdale Community College1SUNY Hudson Valley Community College1Tallahassee Community College1Ventura College1Total14Table 6: Students Attending Other Massachusetts Public CollegesCollege NameNumber AttendingBridgewater State University34Fitchburg State University2Framingham State University12Massachusetts College of Art1Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts1Massachusetts Maritime Academy1Salem State University20University of Massachusetts at Amherst38University of Massachusetts Lowell42University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth17Westfield State University4Worcester State University4Total176Table 7: Students Attending Private Colleges in MassachusettsCollege NameNumber AttendingAmerican International College1Assumption College1Bard College At Simon's Rock1Bay State College2Becker College2Bentley University6Boston College1Boston University13Cambridge College3Caritas Laboure College3Curry College4Dean College1Eastern Nazarene College4Elms College1Emerson College4Emmanuel College3Endicott College1Hampshire College1(Continued)Table 7: Students Attending Massachusetts Private Colleges, continuedCollege NameNumber AttendingHarvard University -
