Separation, Transition, and Incorporation

Explain Vincent Tinto's three stages of student transition.

Separation: traumatic stage when students move away from home environment.

Transition: students are torn between old environments and new ones (typically are still going home each weekend).

Incorporation: students are achieve full membership into the social and academic worlds of new environments.

Vincent Tinto also stated three major points/quotes aside from the tree stages of transition (relating to advisement and special populations). What are they?

1. "Academic advisement plays a key role in the success of students as they transition to college."

2. "Academic advisors should have a clear understanding of the students on campus."

3. "Today's transitioning student may belong to a variety of subgroups or special populations." (disabilities, different cultures, Millenial students)
