| Summary: | The shift from secondary to tertiary education is crucial for students’ academic success, well-being, and retention. Guided by Schlossberg’s Transition Theory, this narrative review of 28 international studies (2016–2024) develops a comprehensive support framework addressing four domains: emotional/social support, academic preparation, barrier mitigation, and success strategies. Unlike prior reviews, this study offers a universal framework across diverse educational contexts, confirming consistent support needs globally. Findings emphasize the need for integrated interventions across all domains, with institutions responsible for proactive support. Gaps in reactive approaches highlight the need for systematic, comprehensive transition programs, providing a robust foundation for future research on diverse student populations.
