Abstract

With more than a third of students transferring at least once in their academic career, we examined the relationship between academic resilience and mental health problems among 298 students. Transfer students demonstrated significant academic resilience despite evidence of high stress sensitivity, stress exposure, and higher presence of depression symptoms.
