  1. Tennessee Independent Colleges and Universities Association UT-TBR Universal Transfer Pathways September 27, 2011 Trevecca Nazarene University

  2. Agenda • Introductions • Background concerning the UT-TBR process • Campus responses to guiding questions • Discussion of TICUA TPs • Next Steps

  3. Background… Complete College Tennessee Act 2010: Tennessee General Assembly passed legislation that requires the two state systems of higher education, The Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) and the University of Tennessee (UT), to develop seamless transfer pathways that permit community college students to complete curricula in associate’s degree programs that lead directly to majors in all public universities effective fall 2011.

  4. How Do TTPs Work? • A student completing all the courses listed on a particular Tennessee Transfer Pathway (TTP) will earn the A.A. or A.S. degree at the community college (CC) • When the student transfers to a TN public university (s)he is guaranteed: • all the CC courses taken will be accepted • count toward completion of the particular major • junior status • all courses transfer as “equivalents” • on-track to graduate with 120 hours unless major requires additional hours • If a CC student transfers to another TN CC before completing a degree, (s)he is guaranteed that all courses transfer

  5. Common Website TBR-UT have launched a website that contains the curriculum of each approved pathway and all relevant information concerning transfer procedures for the use by students, families, and campus advisors. TBR-UT Web Address: http://www.tntransferpathway.org TICUA Address: http://www.ticua.org/collaborations/transfer

  6. Other Information of Interest • No substitutions allowed – student must complete Pathway as prescribed • However, UT and TBR institutions have included “asterisks” which describe mission-specific criteria unique to that particular institution • CC students who transfer to TN public universities under specific program agreements in place prior to fall 2011 will have 5 years to complete degree programs as prescribed in the particular agreements – students must complete degree requirements by December 2016

  7. What About TICUA Member Institutions?

  8. Questions to Consider • What benefits and barriers did your institution identify? • How is your institution addressing these issues? • Will these barriers affect your institution’s adoption of the TTP model? (timing, discipline areas, etc.)

  9. What does a sector-wide agreement look like? • What are TICUA member institutions doing?

  10. Lipscomb University • Susan Galbreath, Associate Provost and Special Assistant to the President & Associate Dean, College of Business • Lincoln Memorial University • Conrad Daniels, Dean of Community College Partnerships • Tusculum College • Melinda Dukes, Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs

  11. What does a sector-wide agreement look like? • System-wide statement which serves as the universal asterisk

  12. Sample TICUA UT-TBR Pathways This is a way to visualize the TICUA TTPs which are anticipated to be included on the UT-TBR website

  13. How will institutions handle Pathways that do not fit the prescribed TTP parameters ? • If the student transfers prior to completing the associate’s degree or deviates from the TTP selected • Too many asterisks (exceptions to TTP) • Willing to accept some courses but not all • Courses do not have true equivalency • Dual Admission/Reverse Articulation • Students intended area of study not covered by TTPs

  14. Area of Study Not Covered by TTPs • Area of study not covered by TTPs allows TICUA institutions to demonstrate their uniqueness • Sample TICUA Transfer Project Webpage http://www.ticua.org/collaborations/transferproject

  15. What is the timeline? • Target date to implement TICUA’s initial response December 2011 • Each time there is a “critical mass” an additional announcement will be made • The TICUA process will not necessarily be “linear” but will have multiple, complementary interactive components as represented by this Venn Diagram

  16. Next Steps • TICUA begins collecting institution-specific information

  17. Thank you for hosting the meeting of the TICUA Transfer Articulation Working Group!
