The legislation was not enforceable because within universities, programs stillhold the authority to decide which credit counts toward their degree requirements [1]. This wasespecially true with programs that require complex pre-requisite structures within their degreerequirements such as engineering. Without transfer credit transparency, the authors of the bookdemonstrated through student case studies that students were forced to triangulate the mostreliable information from advisors and online resources. The burden to navigate the path through community college and a 4

According to the National Center for Education Statistics [1], nearly one-third of undergraduate students in the United States are first-generation college students. Those with a family history of higher education typically enter college with a clearer understanding of academic demands and social integration, which enhances their confidence and adaptability [2]. In contrast, first-generation students may find themselves navigating college life with limited support, impacting their engagement and performance.

Notably, 44% of Hispanic and 36% ofBlack undergraduate students enroll in two-year colleges, which is significantly higher than theenrollment rates at four-year baccalaureate institutions and the overall U.S. population [3].

This dynamic creates a dependency that, while helpful in the moment, can leadto challenges for both students and TAs. The repetitive nature of these inquiries significantlyburdens TAs, who usually cannot answer everyone’s questions throughout the laboratory classtimes.
