"That experience has taught us that improving credit transfer and expanding learning mobility are some of the most complex challenges facing higher education. For one, improving recognition of learning and credit transfer requires higher education institutions to contend with a wide range of prior learning experiences, including traditional college coursework, high school dual-enrollment courses, career and technical education, work-based learning, military service, industry certification, and more."
"During the webcast, participants were polled on the following question: "To what extent do you agree that new financial incentives or budgeting models could help institutions to prioritize improving transfer student outcomes?" The audience's response was positive, with 85 percent agreeing at least somewhat. However, we see some divisions within the data, with 32 percent saying they "strongly agree" and 53 percent saying they "somewhat agree.""
Nearly 400 attendees from 46 states participated in a webcast on how current transfer practices affect learners and institutions. A poll found 85 percent of attendees agreed that new financial incentives or budgeting models could help prioritize transfer student outcomes, with 32 percent strongly agreeing and 53 percent somewhat agreeing. Over seven decades of combined experience across Minnesota, North Carolina, and Virginia inform the observation that improving credit transfer and expanding learning mobility is highly complex. Recognition of prior learning spans many sources and requires coordination among multiple providers and decision-makers.
