Credit When It’s Due: Recognizing the Value of Quality Associate Degrees

Purpose StatementThe proposed project will enable NCCCS to reach its goal of doubling the number of postsecondary credential completers by 2020 and will make the transition from two-year to four-year institutions more seamless.

“Credit When It’s Due will enable North Carolina to develop and implement a comprehensive technological solution to support a reverse transfer process. Following the two-year pilot period, the solution will be scaled up – achieving an automated reverse transfer articulation process that benefits students across the state.”
