Transfer agreements are formal arrangements between educational institutions that allow students to move from one school to another while receiving credit for their completed coursework. These agreements help ensure that the credits earned at one institution are recognized and accepted by the receiving institution, making the transition smoother for students. Typically, transfer agreements outline specific courses and programs that are eligible for credit transfer. They can exist between different types of institutions, such as community colleges and universities, or between universities. This process supports students in achieving their academic goals without losing progress in their education.
