2016 Articulation and
Transfer Workshop

 

Join us for a day to discuss articulation and transfer - from high school to college to university. This year’s event will offer a keynote session on College Credit Plus, including social development and readiness of students. 

Following the keynote, choose from multiple breakout concurrent sessions. Topics include: updates from the Ohio Department of Higher Education (formerly the Ohio Board of Regents), Prior Learning Assessment Portfolios, CTAGs, the Student Success Leadership Initiative on Guided Pathways, and changes in the International Baccalaureate program.

We will start our day with the keynote address followed by two concurrent sessions. After concurrents, we will break for lunch, during which you will have an opportunity to network with your colleagues from regional two and four-year institutions, both public and private.  

We will end our event with a student panel. Hear from students who have participated in College Credit Plus and other transfer and articulation options. Hear how the work you do has directly impacted students’ lives.
