“Success” is defined as helping students transfer and graduate.
Eliminate reliance on static, printed transfer agreements.
Transfer agreements should involve the multiple entities impacting students.
Successful transfer programs should benefit all so they will be supported, promoted and sustained.
Community Colleges provide students with the associate degree and the first two years of the bachelor’s degree.
u.select is used to facilitate transfer advising to effectively and efficiently assist students in achieving their educational goals.
Baccalaureate institutions build on that foundation to provide the students a degree in their chosen major.
Student is the beneficiary.
