Up to 60 percent of undergraduates seek to transfer credits into or across institutions in their learning journey. Articulation agreements are a key to facilitating this process. However, most colleges and universities in the United States do not possess articulation systems and processes that promote the type of transparency and ease-of-use that make transfer a help rather than a hindrance to student success in higher education.
Barriers to transfer cost students and taxpayers billions of dollars in student-paid tuition dollars, state subsidies to public institutions, student financial aid, and delayed tax revenue when students take longer to access higher-paying jobs that require college degrees.
There are upstart leaders in higher education who are blazing a trail of effective articulation policies. This session will take an in-depth look at these solutions at both the systemic and individual institution level. Please join us for this exciting event.
