Trick or Treat: Transfer Credits
Putting students first is more than just a fun catch phrase that is integrated into institutional effectiveness and strategic planning efforts. It is an opportunity to re-evaluate current processes and procedures that can make a big difference without tapping into limited financial resources. Institutions need to work with students to proactively identify those courses that can be applied to their program of study and avoid requiring students to take courses that contain content they have already mastered.
Diverted Plans
Students enroll in accredited institutions that they decided best meets their learning styles, professional goals, and busy schedules. Then when life changes occur, students must adjust their educational plans. They are told, too late, that their earned credits will not transfer leaving them to start all over.
