Participation in panel titled “Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due: An Exploration of Articulation of Credit Transfer,” with Cass Conrad and Desiree Vazquez Barlatt of the Petrie Foundation and Martin Kurzweil of Ithaka S+R.
The results of our survey on transfer of over 31,000 CUNY students have been published in the Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory and Practice.
Ithaka S+R and CUNY’s collaboration in the Articulation of Credit Transfer project, supported by the Heckscher & Petrie Foundations, is yielding results: https://bit.ly/3L4aWrZ

Please see Transfer Opportunity Project’s (TOP’s) brief on two leakage points in the vertical (associate’s to bachelor’s) transfer pipeline: lack of application & transfer melt (accepted but do not enroll). https://bit.ly/3yl7JNW http://bit.ly/30mwM3i pic.twitter.com/jCoOKIEgGM
Alexandra Logue was quoted extensively in an Inside Higher Ed article concerning the (often insurmountable) costs in addition to tuition for community college students.

It gives me great pleasure to announce the expansion of the Articulation of Credit Transfer (ACT) project, with funding from the Petrie Foundation added to existing funding from the Heckscher Foundation. Now, led by Ithaka S+R (Martin Kurzweil) and The City University of New York, we are helping 7 CUNY colleges facilitate the transfer of credits when students move from one CUNY college to another, including by expanding use of Transfer Explorer, our online tool that lets anyone see how credits will transfer among CUNY colleges.

Announcing CUNY’s TRANSFER EXPLORER (https://bit.ly/2AtqzcY ), AKA TREX or T-Rex. This online tool, funded by the Heckscher Foundation and created with Ithaka S+R, can show anyone how any CUNY course transfers from one CUNY college to another (no login needed). We are still refining it, but please check it out!
