Currently, most state- and system-level policy supports the transferability of credits but does not account for the applicability of those credits to a student’s program of study. Several states have taken steps to address this issue directly. While each state’s approach to the problem is distinct, all of them can be instructive in better understanding the nuanced policy and planning considerations needed to better serve students in this area.
