Colleges and universities would have to be more transparent about their student transfer requirements under a new measure put before Congress on Wednesday by U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro.
Sign up for The BriefColleges and universities would have to be more forthcoming about their student transfer requirements under a new measure put before Congress on Wednesday by U.S. Rep.The goal, Castro says, is to help students wishing to transfer schools from losing college credit they have already earned.
“Community college is an affordable, accessible way for many students to start their education — but at too many schools, complicated transfer policies make it harder for transfer students to earn a four-year degree,” Castro said in a statement. “The Transparency for Transfer Students Act will provide students with better information on college articulation agreements, preventing credit loss and helping students save valuable time and money as they pursue their degrees.
. That same report also found it took transfer students on average 7.5 years to complete their bachelor’s degrees, while students who started at a university and finished took 5.3 years to complete their bachelor’s degrees., 25% of transfer students enrolled in fall 2020 had at least one course rejected by the public four-year university to which they transferred. Common reasons include that the course was not within the degree requirements or the student didn’t earn a high enough grade.
For years, federal officials have recommended such a requirement. A 2017 report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office suggested that the U.S. Department of Education require schools to provide information about articulation agreements and transfer resources online. According to the report, about 68% of public schools nationally list that information on their websites.
