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.
