| Summary: | Transfer is the movement of students and their earned credits from one institution to another. This process includes how students' work from the sending institution is applied toward degree requirements at the receiving institution. The Washington Legislature has tasked the Washington Student Achievement Council (WSAC) with "improving student transitions from secondary to postsecondary education and training and between and among postsecondary institutions." A strong transfer policy plays a critical role in improving transitions because it supports student access and completion. WSAC also has a statutory responsibility to establish and adopt transfer policies to improve educational transitions. WSAC sends a biennial report to the Legislature on improvements in transfer efficiency. The report covers progress on transfer indicators, and outlines development of additional transfer associate degrees. This report outlines improvements in transfer that will support underserved and underrepresented students as well as working-age adults. These improvements will contribute to the number of Washington adults who have a postsecondary credential. [For the 2015 Transfer Report, see ED613383.] |
