The loss of credits when students transfer from community colleges to universities results in increased time and cost for students and makes these students far less likely to earn bachelor’s degrees.  Unfortunately, many community college students are not able to transfer most of their credits earned for application to their baccalaureate degrees. This session will explore possible causes and solutions related to credit loss in Ohio.

Misty Sommers, Transfer Operations Analyst, Kent State University

She will report on timing, workload, and communication issues affecting her team in their efforts to grant accurate transfer credit to incoming community college students.
