Committee to study easier transfers from community colleges
Iowa community college officials want to simplify the transition and degree attainment options for students who transfer to one of the state’s public universities, and the Iowa Board of Regents has formed a committee to consider doing just that, the Cedar Rapids Gazette reported. A “Reverse Credit Transfer Advisory Committee,” with representation from Iowa’s three public universities, community colleges and the Department of Education, will begin meeting in January. An exact date of the first meeting and a timeline for the group’s work haven’t been set.
