Reverse transfer is an essential element of a seamless educational system. The state universities, community colleges, and technical colleges work together, through the System Council of Presidents and System Council of Chief Academic Officers, to develop processes to assist students in completing coursework for and attaining all certificates and degrees for which they are eligible. Within your first year, if a student transfers coursework from a community college or technical college to a public university, they will be notified if they are eligible to be considered for Reverse Transfer. Students are eligible if they have completed 45 credit hours at one or more colleges and consent to release their academic records. If a student gives consent (also known as “opting in”), their academic records will be evaluated for degree completion, and their degree will be conferred based upon a satisfactory evaluation. Opting in is the first step.
