Phi Theta Kappa recognizes the importance of your institutional commitment and investment of resources to support transfer students. To honor excellence and success in transfer pathway development, we invite you to participate in our annual national recognition program, the Phi Theta Kappa Transfer Honor Roll, to showcase your institution’s best practices.
Details you submit on your application will populate institutional profiles featured on our transfer platform, PTK Connect, and generate a transfer-friendly rating, providing thousands of prospective students with relevant data to inform their transfer decisions.
There’s no cost to apply or to make your enhanced profile visible and searchable among transfer-bound students researching best-fit institutions and scholarships. Earn recognition for your transfer-friendly practices, leverage PTK’s endorsement to recruit future students, and gain free publicity and exposure for your institution.

With a 91% student success rate, Phi Theta Kappa members have a proven track record of success. Our members transfer at a much higher rate (72%) than the traditional community college student (29%). In order to ensure their continued success, the Transfer Honor Roll Program identifies colleges and universities that understand the unique needs of community college transfer students and applauds the dynamic pathways these colleges have created to continue fostering student success at the four-year college.
