More than two-thirds who earn bachelor’s degrees from four-year institutions today have changed colleges at least once according to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center. However, the U.S. Department of Education reported in 2015 that on average, students who transfer lose 13 credits already earned and paid for. The impact of lost credit on students is enormous and contributes to students taking an average of five or more years to earn a four-year degree.  \nFour in ten students in New England transfer at least once on their path to completing a bachelor’s degree.  \nStudent transfer is a vital part of the New England higher education landscape, and the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) has been studying and reporting on changes in state transfer policy over recent years. In 2014 NEBHE published On the Move: Supporting Student Transfer followed by New England Fast Facts: Student Transfer. The latter report used National Student Clearinghouse data to shed light on recent student transfer patterns in New England to help policymakers and practitioners envision and implement plans to better serve them in the future.  \nNew England Transfer Policies  \nSince the 2014 On the Move report, NEBHE wanted to determine if states in the region were making progress in developing policies and practices that:  \n• Facilitate transfer  \n• Mitigate credit loss  \n• Offer students who began at a community college and transferred to a four-year institution the opportunity to earn an associate degree through reverse transfer  \nTo gather intelligence on these issues and coalesce on progress, NEBHE held a convening on Next Generation Transfer, in January 2018. The goal of the event was to report on national transfer trends, explore new tools for reverse transfer and develop a shared understanding of each New England state’s progress in developing and implementing student-friendly transfer policies and practices.  \nAdditionally, NEBHE compiled updated transfer policy and practice information as reported in the 2018 Education Commission of the States (ECS) report, 50-State Comparison: Transfer and Articulation Policies. NEBHE used this survey as a foundation and has supplemented and updated state-specific policies where applicable.  \nState Transfer Metrics  \nSince NEBHE’s 2014 scan of transfer policies, many of the New England states have made significant headway in developing effective and student-friendly transfer systems. This progress has been made in spite of a challenging state funding landscape, competing priorities and lack of significant investment.  \n\n| State | Transferable Core of Lower Division Courses | Statewide Common\u003Cbr>Course Numbering | Course\u003Cbr>Equivalency | Statewide Guaranteed Transfer of Assoc.
