New York
The State University of New York (SUNY) includes 30 community college campuses and 29 universities, and the system’s goal is to develop a system and process for institutions to handle reverse transfer degree conferral on students’ path to the baccalaureate. SUNY’s strategy includes the design, development, and utilization of a new software tool (DegreeWorks) that will automate degree audits using information on course equivalencies across SUNY’s campuses and enable greater efficiency in reverse transfer associate’s degree conferral.
