Reverse transfer can be a positive and useful practice for WT community college transfer students. Reverse transfer is the practice that allows students who have earned considerable credit at a community college to transfer university course credit back to that institution in order to be awarded an associate degree. The advantage of reverse transfer is that the student is awarded a degree for which he/she has completed all course requirements. Attainment of the associate degree may prove helpful to the student in the future (e.g., life issues sometimes force students to “stop out” prior to completing their baccalaureate degree).
Metric: Student to Faculty Ratio of 15:1
Emphasizing the reverse transfer process will create goodwill between WT and community colleges.
