Why Interstate Passport ®

“ there are significant barriers to transfer—the most

pressing being the loss of credits that community college students experience when they transition to four-year

institutions.”

Improving the transfer process and ensuring that students can transfer credits efficiently has the potential to

substantially raise college attainment.
