CollegeTransfer.Net releases the new Transfer Agreement Repository for Schools and Students

dmoldoff@academyone.com — Sat, 28 Jul 2007 05:00:00 GMT

Many colleges and univeristies develop agreements to document pathways between junior and senior institiutions, usually by program and major. These are called transfer agreements. This new feature will enable students to find transfer agreements between the schools they are interested in, by location, major and department. And, it will help schools maintain a current list of agreements and the information needed to help students. We hope institutions will post their transfer agreements on CollegeTransfer.Net removing the barriers to finding them.

Transfer Hopes & Hurdles

Navigating college transfer is filled with choices. Asking questions of other students who have been successful or not, will reveal approaches that may help you. From my perspective, college transfer requires preparation, finding good advice and information to base your enrollment decisions on what courses to take where, majors and finally where you want to receive your degree from. Whether you are unhappy in the current college or university you are attending, or you are re-entering college after stopping-out for a while, or you have completed a two year degree, college transfer has unique challenges. Often these challenges appear subjective and are historically isolated personal experiences. Others have developed trails in advance of you, overcame obstacles they were confronted with or took it on the chin when prior course investments did not count as a result of college transfer choices they made. One thing is certain, you are not alone.

60% of students graduating today from college transfer at least once during their studies. 2.5 million transfer every year. If you are going to college or thinking of re-enrolling in college, prepare yourself with facts and track your progress on a regular basis to avoid taking courses that may not transfer.

Welcome to the CollegeTransfer.net blog. This blog is dedicated to helping college transfer students and their parents, advisors, faculty and friends as they plan transitions from one institution to another. More than 2.5 million students transfer - and it's not just moving from a community college to a university. Students are crossing all borders and we are building CollegeTransfer.net to help them find their way, with accurate and timely information.

We have spent two years building the database and user tools hosted on CollegeTransfer.net. We have searchable catalogs from more than 3,600 US schools for a total of over 3,500,000 courses and we are not finished yet. We are working feverishly to make this site valuable to you and others by adding transfer course equivalencies for as many schools as possible. Our goal is to give every student the ability to see how their courses would transfer from one school to another. If you are experiencing issues or would like to share your advice or insights on transfer with other users, please do so. If you would like us to connect with your institution, please let us know that as well.

My name is David Moldoff, and I'm founder and CEO of AcademyOne, the company which created CollegeTransfer.net. I work on college transfer issues nationwide helping public policy makers and higher education advocates gain an awareness of the special needs of college transfer students.

Join us in our mission to make the college transfer process as fast, easy and affordable as possible!!
