2020 Stranded Credits Report: Another Perspective on the Lost Credits Story
Created by AACRAO in partnership with Ithaka S+R, with generous support from the Lumina Foundation and Joyce Foundation.
For this research, “stranded credits” refers to the
accumulated credits for which a student is unable to obtain
an official transcript due to an administrative hold. From the
data, we aim to build a better understanding of the
prevalence of stranded credits, the reasons students cannot
access their credits, and policies and procedures related to
this issue.
