“When students invest their time, money and effort in higher education, they should be able to count on a transfer process that builds on—not delays—their progress. At MiLEAP, we are committed to working alongside Michigan’s education partners to remove unnecessary barriers, strengthen transfer pathways and help every student move confidently toward earning their degree.”
—Beverly Walker-Griffea, executive director of the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement and Potential.
In the first part in this series, Michigan students described a transfer process shaped less by clear expectations than by timing, institutional practices and access to the right information. They shared experiences of receiving different answers from different people, earning credits without knowing how those credits would apply and feeling pressure to make major academic decisions before they had the information needed to do so with confidence.
Those experiences point to a broader question that extends beyond any single institution:
What should Michigan students be able to count on when they transfer?
