Most colleges and universities aim to put students first, but many have baked-in financial disincentives that work against transfer and credit mobility. In a recent national poll of adult Americans by Public Agenda and Sova, 4 in 10 respondents report attempting to transfer credit. Of these, 16% abandoned their postsecondary plans because the process of transferring credit was too difficult.
While restrictive and rejective credit transfer policies may produce short-term financial returns for institutions, they hurt learners at scale and harm institutional bottom lines and reputations in the long run.
Join the first of a two-part webcast series on shifting away from a mindset against credit mobility toward one that supports credit applicability—and success for all learners.
Register for part two of this two-part webcast series, on Wednesday, May 28, at 2 p.m. E.T. See how adopting a credit applicability mindset—versus the more traditional, credit-rejective approach—makes sense not only from a student success perspective but also a financial one.
