Common use of REVERSE TRANSFER PROCESS Clause in Contracts

REVERSE TRANSFER PROCESS. 1. Annually, SUS institutions shall determine which students meet the eligibility criteria outlined above to identify potential degree candidates. 2. Once potential degree candidates are identified, each SUS institution shall provide notification to potential candidates about the reverse transfer provision of the statewide articulation agreement. This notification must: a. Specify that “opting in” does not guarantee the student will automatically be awarded the AA; it simply means the FCS institution will evaluate the student’s transcript to determine if they are eligible for the degree. b. Include the statement of purpose, the name of the FCS institution to which the student’s information will be sent, and instructions for opting out of the process at any time. 3. Upon consent by the student, the SUS institution will transmit transcripts or academic data files for potential candidates to the FCS institution with a notation that the student has indicated that they intend to seek a reverse transfer. 4. The FCS institution will conduct a degree audit to determine whether the potential candidates meet all eligibility criteria, including criteria specified in subsection IV. 5. A student who intends to seek an AA degree under the terms of this Agreement will be governed by the graduation requirements set forth by the FCS institution. 6. Upon the successful completion of the degree audit described and, if applicable, the successful completion of any additional procedures or requirements, the FCS institution will confer the AA degree during the semester in which the audit was successfully completed. The FCS institution will notify the student of the award of the AA degree. The student’s transcripts will be updated accordingly to reflect the awarding of the AA degree. 7. The FCS institution will inform students who are not eligible to be awarded a degree what course(s) and/or other requirement(s) remain to be completed. Students shall be afforded due process under the appeals process and procedures outlined in the catalog at the degree-granting FCS institution. 8. The FCS institution will notify the registrar at the SUS institution regarding the outcomes of the degree audits.
