The Texas Reverse Transfer Initiative. Policy Brief
Reyes, Pedro; Alexander, Celeste
Texas Education Research Center
The goal of the Texas Reverse Transfer Initiative (TRTI) was the development of low-cost, scalable, and sustainable systems and procedures for reverse transfer. Reverse transfer occurs when universities monitor transfer students' semester credit hour (SCH) accumulation and send their transcripts back to the community college students previously attended as they surpass certain SCH thresholds. The community college can then award the student an associate degree if the course requirements of a degree program have been met, and can also receive credit for having awarded the degree. This brief shares the findings of an evaluation that focused on three areas: (1) Examining the characteristics and academic outcomes for all Texas students who were potentially eligible for reverse-transfer degrees from two cohorts which transferred in different years; (2) Examining the characteristics and academic outcomes for students from the same two cohorts who attended TRTI participating institutions and were potentially eligible for reverse-transfer degrees; and (3) The challenges facing institutions of higher education (IHEs) as they implement the reverse transfer process.
