Fisher Named to Phi Theta Kappa's 2026 Transfer Honor Roll

For the ninth consecutive year, St. John Fisher University has been named to Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society’s (PTK) Transfer Honor Roll, recognizing institutions that demonstrate excellence in creating and supporting pathways for community college transfer students.

Fisher was one of  275 colleges and universities included in PTK’s 2026 Transfer Honor Roll, highlighting the University's commitment to support its transfer students. 

The Honor Roll evaluates how well institutions support transfer students from admission through graduation, assessing Colleges across five dimensions that are shown to influence transfer success, transfer student success outcomes; credit mobility and degree applicability; financial support for transfer students; recruitment and admissions practices; and campus engagement and support for transfer students.

 "This recognition is about much more than transfer agreements," said Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner, President and CEO of Phi Theta Kappa. "Successful transfer happens when institutions intentionally design policies, practices, and campus cultures that help students thrive after they arrive. These colleges have demonstrated that transfer student success is not accidental. It is a strategic priority."

Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society recognizes the academic achievement of students at associate degree-granting colleges and helps them grow as scholars and leaders. Recognized by the American Association of Community Colleges as the official honor society for two-year colleges, PTK also serves as the nation’s largest honor society in higher education, with more than 4.5 million members and nearly 1,200 chapters in 11 countries, including approximately 220,000 active members in colleges today. Through scholarships, leadership development, and transfer and career pathways, PTK helps students turn their potential into opportunity. Learn more at ptk.org.
