In Spring 2007, the State Chancellor's Office of the California Community Colleges awarded the Transfer Leadership Center (TLC) study to investigate two-to-four year transfer practices and strategies. As part of the study's qualitative component, research teams from the Center for Student Success of the Research & Planning Group of the California Community Colleges conducted site visits to seven community colleges with higher-than-expected transfer rates. The site visits included extensive interviews and focus groups conducted with students, college counselors, faculty, administrators, classified staff, representatives from special programs, and high school counselors. This paper presents findings from site visits to De Anza College. Appended are: (1) De Anza Study Participants; (2) Documents Reviewed for De Anza Case Study Analysis; (3) De Anza College Descriptors; (4) De Anza College Transfer Indicators; and (5) De Anza's Agreements with Four-Year Colleges and Representative Visits.
