From kfoster at osrhe.edu Fri May 6 11:50:21 2016 From: kfoster at osrhe.edu (Foster, Kyle) Date: Fri, 6 May 2016 16:50:21 +0000 Subject: [OACADA] Reverse Transfer Resource Page Message-ID: <9677B49E235AE04A88222611E1EA78D1E8FC23@Drake.osrhe.edu> Good morning OACADA colleagues, I wanted to share with you a new resource page provided on the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education website. The new page contains information about reverse transfer, including a list of contacts for each campus. If you're working with a student who is interested in reverse transfer, this list will tell you to whom they should be referred. If you have any questions about anything on the page, please don't hesitate to contact our office. http://www.okhighered.org/complete-college-america/reverse-transfer.shtml Best, Kyle Kyle Foster, M.S.

An institutional policy exception to this provision must be requested by the institution and approved by the State Regents. As you are no doubt aware, under this policy, credit for prior learning such as AP, CLEP, military training, etc. cannot currently be transcripted until after the students earns 12 hours at the institution. Since several institutions have requested exceptions to the policy, we are examining whether it should be discarded altogether or if it serves any useful purpose. I am requesting your feedback on whether eliminating this policy provision would have an impact on you as academic advisors and/or on your students. If you would like to provide input about whether this would be a help or hindrance in the academic advising process, please reply to this email with your thoughts. Your assistance and feedback are greatly appreciated. Best, Kyle Kyle Foster, M.S.
