Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Going After the Gold: A State-Wide Pilot of Transferability (ID: CMR9819)
Author(s):Ilene C. Gibson (Miami University) and Jason Elwood (Miami University)
Origin:Presented at CUMREC Conferences (Archives) (1998)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:This paper describes the Course Applicability System (CAS) and the pilot project of seven institutions in Ohio using the software. Students, advisors, or casual inquirers can access transfer articulation and degree audit information via the World Wide Web. A premise behind CAS is that a prospective transfer student could not only determine current course evaluation and application, but also successfully plan for future transfer. The goal of the pilot is for a prospective student to be able to evaluate his/her course portfolio and determine course acceptability, equivalency and applicability within any of the seven institutions.
