"T-REX is unusual in that it provides accurate and up-to-date information not just about transferability-how credits are translated when a student transfers to a CUNY school-but also applicability, or how those credits count toward requirements."
"The findings suggest T-REX's value lies less in increasing how many credits students transfer than in improving how those credits count-an outcome researchers say can help students maintain momentum toward a degree."
Community colleges serve as a gateway for first-generation and low-income students to higher education. Credit loss can hinder their transfer to four-year institutions. The City University of New York developed Transfer Explorer (T-REX) to streamline course transfer information across its colleges. Research indicates that T-REX helps students apply more credits toward essential degree requirements, enhancing their educational momentum. The tool provides accurate information on credit transferability and applicability, positively influencing student decision-making and transfer outcomes.
