A new project from the National Student Clearinghouse will aim to provide an automated way for students who transfer from two-year institutions to four-year institutions to receive associate degrees.
The “reverse transfer” initiative, which is funded by the Lumina Foundation, will create a depository where the four-year college can send a student’s academic data, which can then be downloaded by the two-year college. A student who has acquired enough credits will receive an associate degree.
The clearinghouse will work with colleges in Missouri, Texas, and Wisconsin at the start of the project. As many as two million students could be awarded degrees under the program, the organization says.
