    Overview

    On June 8-9, 2015, representatives from the fifteen states funded as part of the Credit When It’s Due initiative convened in Indianapolis, Indiana to reflect on key issues facing states with the implementation of reverse transfer degrees and discuss sustainability for these efforts. The convening also included participants from 23 states engaged in reverse transfer. Attendees reviewed the latest research findings, discussed the policy contexts for reverse transfer and the role of technology in this work with a focus on emerging data system solutions. The convening was hosted by the Credit When It’s Due Funders Collaborative.  

    State-specific resources from the convening can be found on the State Map and Profilespage.
