Transfer & Articulation Community of Practice Forum

January 31, 2025

January 31, 2025 | 3:00-4:00 pm ET

With increased student mobility comes a greater demand for our community to come together to support each other in the often complex and varied world of transfer. In response to this demand, AACRAO's Transfer & Articulation committee is hosting an open community of practice call where any member of the AACRAO community can engage to discuss current issues or trends related to transfer credit, PLA, or articulation. This is an open call to participate, whether you are new to transfer credit or a seasoned veteran. We welcome anyone interested in this topic area to help provide answers to questions membership has on their minds or discuss hot topics that are impacting our campuses today.

January Session

Session Title: Leveraging PLA/CPL for Guided Pathways and Transfer Success

Description: This session explores strategies for effectively leveraging Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) to support students transitioning from high school to higher education. Participants will learn how to onboard students onto guided pathways using credits earned through PLA, ensuring a smooth and intentional start to their academic journey. The session will also cover best practices for collaborating with university partners to facilitate the transferability of PLA credits, ensuring students can maximize their progress toward degree completion. Join us to discover how to create seamless pathways that bridge secondary and postsecondary education while optimizing student success.
