Today, more than one-third of students – or approximately 1.38 million – transfer on their path to degree achievement; however, a significant number of credits are often lost in the transfer process. A 2017 national report from the U.S. General Accounting Office found that transfer students to four-year institutions lost an average of 43% of their credits while community college transfers to four-year institutions lost 26 percent of their credits.
As the only nationwide open transfer network with comprehensive transfer data, Transferology is a cloud-based solution that provides students access to millions of course-to-course and program-to-program transfer equivalencies. The goal is to save students time and money by providing a quick, intuitive way of getting their college transfer credit questions answered. In addition, the solution delivers vital course equivalency and higher education transfer credit information for incoming students.
Students can enter coursework and instantly see how their credits will transfer to other institutions. This information helps transfer counselors, students and parents make more informed decisions when transferring higher education credit.
Membership in the Transferology network gives higher ed institutions a nationwide presence for recruiting students and a venue for publicizing transfer articulation information. Transferology helps advisors, students and parents make educated decisions when transferring credit. Students can instantly see how coursework transfers to member institutions. Transferology also promotes articulations for military courses and occupations, advanced placement courses and college-level exams.
