All <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> students who earn a Passport can now more easily transfer to any member institution without having to repeat or take additional coursework to satisfy general education requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Interstate Passport Network launched in 2016, member institutions have awarded more than 38,800 Passports.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;With the University of <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> System becoming an Interstate Passport member, more of our students\u2019 coursework will be safe-guarded should they need to transfer to any of the growing number of other Network colleges and universities,&rdquo; said <strong>James Goodman<\/strong>, <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> Passport state facilitator and dean of arts and sciences at Leeward <abbr>CC<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly four in 10 college students will transfer institutions at least once during their college careers, and almost a quarter of those will enroll in an institution in another state, according to data from the National Student Clearinghouse. Transferring between schools\u2014especially across state lines\u2014has been difficult and sometimes expensive because of lengthy credit evaluation processes and loss of credits already earned.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;<abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> has been a key contributor in the development of Interstate Passport processes and operations. Leeward Community College and the University of <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> West <span aria-label=\"Oahu\">O&#699;ahu<\/span> have been instrumental in paving the way for the remaining institutions to join the Network,&rdquo; said Anna Galas, director of academic leadership initiatives at <abbr>WICHE<\/abbr>. &ldquo;As the Interstate Passport Network continues to grow, we expect to see more transfer students motivated to complete their degrees.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h2>Interstate Passport<\/h2>\n<p>Interstate Passport is a program, based at the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education (<abbr>WICHE<\/abbr>) that facilitates block transfer of lower-division general education attainment based on multistate faculty-developed learning outcomes among its participating institutions. After years of research and development, the Interstate Passport Network, whose members are two-year and four-year regionally accredited public and private non-profit colleges and universities, was launched in July 2016. Member institutions began awarding Passports in the 2016&#8211;2017 academic year.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/interstatepassport.wiche.edu\/\">Interstate Passport website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> system joins a national network of 40 institutions that streamlines the transfer process for students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[757,61,62,63,64,65,1466,71,14,9,60,947,59,66],"class_list":["post-117557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academic-news","tag-admissions","tag-hawaii-community-college","tag-honolulu-community-college","tag-kapiolani-community-college","tag-kauai-community-college","tag-leeward-community-college","tag-manoa-enhancing-student-success","tag-uh-community-colleges","tag-uh-hilo","tag-uh-manoa","tag-maui-college","tag-uh-system","tag-uh-west-oahu","tag-windward-community-college","entry","has-media"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117557"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117557\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":117568,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117557\/revisions\/117568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
