Researchers have shown that students successfully navigate through transfershock when they are more transfer ready. Transfer readiness is impacted by counseling,advice from students and faculty, and an understanding of the academic requirements of thenew institution [11]. Another prominent factor impacting students’ success in four year completion aftertransfer is integration into the social aspects of the new institution. This social integrationincludes participation in clubs, organizations, and events of different cultures

Unlike college professors who are motivated and energizedby students [16], Maslach and Leiter [15] described individuals suffering from exhaustion asbeing characterized as depleted, fatigued, and lacking energy.
