ACE task force issues recommendations on transfer

Anastasiia Konko/Getty Images For all the time colleges spend on admissions, the reality is that lots of students do not stay where they first enroll. A 2018 snapshot found that one-third of the 2.8 million students entering college for the first time in fall 2011 earned credits from two or more institutions within six years is a reminder of this fact. It comes in a letter from the members of the American Council on Education National Task Force on the Transfer and Award of Credit, which issued its report on Monday. The report largely features recommendations that have been made before repeatedly by advocates for transfer students. Those who transfer generally do well academically at the institutions that let them in. But they struggle to get credit for their prior work at community colleges or four-year institutions. This turns the 2+2=4 equation that transfer students want into a 2+3 (or more). The result is that the more affordable higher education is lost to students,

Three professors combined review more than 19,000 transfer courses

Hundreds of Penn State faculty have contributed to the Course Review Transfer System Sean Yoder April 22, 2021 UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. The raw numbers are staggering: nearly 87,000 courses have been added to the Credit Transfer Tool since 2016. More than 90% of reviewed courses have some type of equivalency at Penn State, and over 50% have a direct equivalency to a Penn State course. Among the 200-plus faculty reviewers, three Penn State professors have completed nearly 20,000 of the transfer course reviews. What this means for transfer students (and current students looking to transfer in credits) is the hard work completed at other institutions of higher education will translate into better quality credits at Penn State. For the academic discipline communities, this system ensures that courses are evaluated by faculty who are actively working in that field, thereby protecting the integrity of a Penn State education.
