Office ofTransfer & Articulation
Through the coordination of the CSCU Transfer Council, we are taking a collaborative approach to provide equitable solutions on eliminating transfer barriers and increasing transfer student success within CSCU institutions. By focusing on and raising awareness of our transfers student population, our objectives are to facilitate communication between institutions, increase transfer credit mobility, and promote best practices to provide a seamless transition from one CSCU institution to another. By providing consistent practices and increasing transparency throughout the CSCU System, we will be driving toward the overall goal of guiding students toward academic success regardless of where they start their journey.
CSCU General Education Transfer Credit Alignment Policy
The CSCU General Education Transfer Credit Alignment Policy has been approved by the Board of Regents on Thursday, June 27, 2024. More information on the policy can be found in the “Policy” section of this website. With the objective to implement the policy by Fall 2025, the following next steps are proposed:
CSCU four-year institutions:
- Provide all CSCU four-year institution Provosts with CSCU General Education Transfer Credit Alignment Template
- Suggest Provosts delegate the completion of the template to Faculty involved with General Education governance at their institution
- CSCU four-year institution Provosts will sign and submit the template to the CSCU Provost
- CSCU four-year institution Provosts will provide a copy of the signed template to the institution’s Registrar or appropriate staff who oversees their transfer course equivalency data
- Course to course equivalencies or appropriate attributes to CT State courses in CSCU four-year institutions’ SIS for articulation to the assigned categories will be completed
- Extensions may be provided for institutions who are editing their current General Education Requirements
CSCU Transfer Council:
The CSCU Transfer Council, in collaboration with FIRC, will draft a charge for a standing committee of systemwide Faculty to oversee the implementation, compliance moving forward, and address any concerns.
