Streamlining Transfer Through an Online Portal

January 5, 2026 Waterside Ballroom 9

Four-year independent colleges and universities have a long history of supporting student transfer from two-year private and public colleges. Now there is more efficient, student-friendly technology to provide recent students and returning adults a smooth, online transfer experience, utilizing transfer agreements and course equivalencies. Funded by the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, ECMC Foundation, Gates Foundation, John Belk Endowment and the Teagle Foundation, in partnership with NCICU, the customizable portal developed in concert with Acadeum is designed to meet the needs of independent higher education sectors and institutions across the country.
