Credit Banking- Transcripts

SCENARIO:
http://www.degreeinfo.com/general-distance-learning-discussions/22366-transcript-services.html

Transcript services

I have taken courses at 8 going on 9 different colleges and universities. Some as a full-time student, others just one or two classes. I recently applied to couple other graduate programs, and I hated having to buy 3-4 transcripts from each place. Even afterwards, depending on the job or if somehow I decide to do a doctorate, I might have to do the same thing. A couple of questions for the well informed on this board:


1. Does a company exists that allows a person to consolidate all of their academic work into a single comprehensive transcript?



2. In the event that this option does exist, what are the chances that schools and employers will acknowledge this transcript as a perfectly legitimate substitute for transcripts from every school?

http://www.collegetransfer.net/Search/tabid/159/Default.aspx



Use this search to find transfer friendly institutions.  Not all schools are listed in our transfer profile database.   Because the ones that are listed, are the ones promoting their transfer information to CollegeTransfer.Net.
When a school promotes their transfer information, it starts with the transfer profile.  The transfer profile highlights important elements that describe the academic and transfer policies along with the services for students who are contemplating transfer.  CollegeTransfer.Net keeps track of transfer profile views and requests for information tracking popularity

Use this search to find out if institutions have transfer agreements with one another.  Transfer Agreements are pre-arranged by sending and receiving schools usually by department, program and major.

Transfer agreements, transfer guides or articulation agreements are formal arrangements published between two institutions that define how courses taken or degrees earned at one institution can satisfy degree requirements at another institution.  Search over 18,000 agreements online.

Use this search to find out how specific courses taken at one institution will transfer to another institution.  This data is published by institutions and updated to help you see how prior learning will transfer.

An equivalent or transferable course is a course taken at one college or university that can be used for course credit at another institution.  CollegeTransfer.Net has over 3 million course decisions to search by college and university including credit by examination for AP, CLEP and  DSST

Use this search to find course information including Id, titles and descriptions for any degree-granting institution in the United States.

You are able to search for a particular institution's courses, courses in a geographic location and keywords in the title or description of the course.  You can also drill down on selected courses for equivalencies in and out.

 The first step in transferring to Any College is creating a Student Passport in CollegeTransfer.net. Creating a Student Passport account will let you do the following: Quickly compile your academic course history in one place and keep it safe. Combine transcripts from multiple schools and educational providers. Put your academic course history to work. Let it help you find the best institution. Easily compare transferability using Course Equivalency Maps generated on your behalf. Notify Any College of your interest and share your academic course history with them. Upload reference letters, essays and other documents in a storage center that can be sent to Any College or other institutions on your behalf.http://www.collegetransfer.net/PlanMyTransfer/tabid/3478/Default.aspx?institutionId=4393

Consulting to Address Specific Challenges

Consulting for Colleges and Universities
As a college or university administrator, you may think about:

• Goals for Your Adult Student Population
• Marketing to and Recruiting Adult Students
• Retaining and Graduating More Adult Students

CAEL keeps all of this in mind and creates a customized solution that supports your goals and helps your adult students succeed.
Consulting for Employers As an employer, you have your own unique concerns:

• Identifying workforce competency and skill gaps that impact your bottom line
• Finding efficient ways to use training and tuition dollars to develop vital competencies
• Moving front-line employees into new and different roles
• Facing an employee retirement bubble that may leave you scrambling to fill mission-critical positions

CAEL’s customized consulting solutions focus on your unique concerns and bring an in-depth understanding of how to help adults learn and excel in their work.
Consulting for Workforce Developers As a workforce developer, you may be concerned about:

• Identifying what new skills your target industries need
• Recognizing knowledge and skill gaps that training and education can fill to help job seekers link to careers with long-term stability
• Leveraging your talent development system to spur economic growth
• Improving your connections with employers to help satisfy their workforce needs
• Uncovering hidden job seeker skills that may set them on the path to employment

CAEL crafts customized consulting solutions based on full knowledge of how employers and higher education systems influence the success of adults seeking further education.

The requirements for most associate's and bachelor’s degree programs include general or free electives which can be satisfied by taking courses you choose. Credit hours generated by courses listed in the CTL will satisfy these requirements, up to the credit hour limit set for the particular degree program. For example, a student enrolled in a bachelor’s degree program requiring nine semester hours of electives may select any three, three-credit courses listed in the CTL, from any public campus, to meet this requirement.
Most CTL courses will also count for specific course requirements in degree programs. For example, assume a student is enrolled in a bachelor’s degree program requiring an American History I course. That student can take any course listed in the CTL under American History I, from any public campus, and have that course apply toward meeting the student’s degree requirements, in the same way as the equivalent American History I course on that student’s home campus. Likewise, students planning to transfer can be assured that the American History I course they’ve taken at their current campus will apply in the same way as the American History I course at their new campus.
Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana and Vincennes University are only listed once under each course category in the CTL, since all Ivy Tech and VU courses will count in exactly the same way, irrespective of the campus at which the course was taken.
The transferability guarantee of the CTL applies to all courses offered after the effective date of the most current version of the CTL, July 1, 2007. In many cases, this guarantee also applies to courses offered prior to that date. Students, who have taken courses prior to the effective date, should consult an academic advisor. The Transfer Indiana web site (www.transferin.net) will provide additional information about transferability of this coursework.
Qualified high school students are eligible to take courses that will count toward meeting both high school diploma and college degree requirements. High school students, who wish to satisfy the Core 40 with Academic Honors Diploma requirement calling for dual high school/college courses resulting in six transferable college credits, are encouraged to choose dual credit courses from either the Core Transfer Library (CTL) or from the courses identified by the Independent Colleges of Indiana (ICI). Courses from both the CTL and ICI maximize transferability of credit for courses and also meet the dual credit requirements necessary for Core 40 with Academic Honors or Technical Honors. If students choose a dual credit course NOT on the CTL or courses identified by ICI, they should directly contact the college they plan to attend to see how that course can be used at that institution.  The CTL transferability guarantee also applies to dual credit courses, thus offering students maximum transfer options.
Indiana’s public colleges and universities developed the CTL in response to legislation passed in 2005. It will be updated on a continual basis.

The National Course Atlas http://www.collegetransfer.net/Home/InsideCollegeTransferNet/CourseAtlas/tabid/975/default.aspx


The National Course Atlas (www.courseatlas.com) is an online repository published annually with course offerings from 4,300+ colleges, universities, community colleges, corporate universities, schools and growing list of alternative education providers. The Course Atlas is the foundation database of CollegeTransfer.Net housing courses, course equivalencies, transfer guides and transfer profiles.
Preparing and publishing course offerings is a means to present detail curriculum to students, other institutions and advisors who reference the course offerings for planning and academic purposes. There are many reasons why an institution publishes course listings and catalogs. One major reason is to support those seeking to make comparisons when they need to assess learning comparability, applicability and articulation for transfer. Validation of course catalogs and course inventory in our National Course Atlas ensures a smooth import of course equivalency data and helps students, advisors and other institutions reference your academic offerings. Your courses can be viewed online and associated with course equivalency decisions made by your institution and others. In fact, through Web services, your courses and related course equivalencies can be viewed on smart phones like the iPhone, Windows7 Phones and Android through the AcademyOne's mobile app, the AcademicGPS. Please visit www.academicgps.com for more information on downloading the smart phone apps.
The National Course Atlas is primarily an online repository of currently offered courses. Yet, we do retain an archive of old courses by start and end date and the changes made to them as they evolve. This allows you to import courses on a snapshot as many times as you like. Each course reveals the detail course description and attributes. In addition, the course equivalencies can be accessed to help students seeking transferability disclosure. For instance, the screen below shows how a student enrolled in Drexel can discover comparable courses they may be able to take over the summer and transfer back to Drexel with advisor approval.
The Course Atlas houses over 3.5 million current college level course offerings from over 4,300 institutions of all types and the comparability links between the courses published by those same institutions. Historical course descriptions are not the focus of the Course Atlas, just like a collection of maps in an Atlas does not reveal old roads or bridges that have been taken down. Archival maps must be retrieved to find old roads, towns and cities as they once stood. The primary purpose of the Course Atlas is to afford the ability to compare current courses to allow a proactive focus on course planning.
The National Course Atlas is the only complete dataset offering a public index and search of associated college level course offerings. The repository offers free storage of course artifacts, including syllabi, which support academic assessment of prior learning through the tools offered by AcademyOne. All of the services and tools published on CollegeTransfer.Net utilize the Course Atlas.

Credit Consolidation is a unique non-degree-seeking credential service available to students not currently engaged in Rowan University matriculated, degree granted programs. College level, accredited coursework reflecting enrollment, training, or knowledge evaluated by Rowan University, for such academic assessment tools as Credit by Examination, or credit recommendations approved by the American Council on Education, including recommendations for certificates, is acknowledged and recorded upon the official, non-degree-seeking level (consolidation) transcript; it is available in hardcopy - we do not offer a softcopy option.
Credits placed upon the consolidation transcript are permanent and are not removed. This credential allows the uniform recording of academic achievements from various universally recognized sources upon one official transcript. Foreign credentials, CEU credit, or courses you have actually taught are not eligible for transcription.
Fees associated with this service cover transcription of initial-application credits, and additional earned or evaluated credit, for one year. Requests for further credit transcription beyond one year are subject to an additional fee. Fees are non-refundable. Accordingly, it is appropriate to verify consolidation transcription adheres to receiving institution(s) requirements.

The National Course Atlas http://www.collegetransfer.net/Home/InsideCollegeTransferNet/CourseAtlas/tabid/975/default.aspx


The National Course Atlas (www.courseatlas.com) is an online repository published annually with course offerings from 4,300+ colleges, universities, community colleges, corporate universities, schools and growing list of alternative education providers. The Course Atlas is the foundation database of CollegeTransfer.Net housing courses, course equivalencies, transfer guides and transfer profiles.
Preparing and publishing course offerings is a means to present detail curriculum to students, other institutions and advisors who reference the course offerings for planning and academic purposes. There are many reasons why an institution publishes course listings and catalogs. One major reason is to support those seeking to make comparisons when they need to assess learning comparability, applicability and articulation for transfer. Validation of course catalogs and course inventory in our National Course Atlas ensures a smooth import of course equivalency data and helps students, advisors and other institutions reference your academic offerings. Your courses can be viewed online and associated with course equivalency decisions made by your institution and others. In fact, through Web services, your courses and related course equivalencies can be viewed on smart phones like the iPhone, Windows7 Phones and Android through the AcademyOne's mobile app, the AcademicGPS. Please visit www.academicgps.com for more information on downloading the smart phone apps.
The National Course Atlas is primarily an online repository of currently offered courses. Yet, we do retain an archive of old courses by start and end date and the changes made to them as they evolve. This allows you to import courses on a snapshot as many times as you like. Each course reveals the detail course description and attributes. In addition, the course equivalencies can be accessed to help students seeking transferability disclosure. For instance, the screen below shows how a student enrolled in Drexel can discover comparable courses they may be able to take over the summer and transfer back to Drexel with advisor approval.
The Course Atlas houses over 3.5 million current college level course offerings from over 4,300 institutions of all types and the comparability links between the courses published by those same institutions. Historical course descriptions are not the focus of the Course Atlas, just like a collection of maps in an Atlas does not reveal old roads or bridges that have been taken down. Archival maps must be retrieved to find old roads, towns and cities as they once stood. The primary purpose of the Course Atlas is to afford the ability to compare current courses to allow a proactive focus on course planning.
The National Course Atlas is the only complete dataset offering a public index and search of associated college level course offerings. The repository offers free storage of course artifacts, including syllabi, which support academic assessment of prior learning through the tools offered by AcademyOne. All of the services and tools published on CollegeTransfer.Net utilize the Course Atlas.
