Core Transfer Library (CTL) • Number of Courses: 89, soon to be 97 • Challenges: – – Filling in gaps Courses delivered through distance education Adding dual credit courses Fully incorporating ICI courses 6

2+2 Articulations • Currently, Separate Articulations with all 14 University Campuses for Ivy Tech and VU, e. g. – Ivy Tech has to develop/maintain 14 separate articulation agreements for Biology or Business Administration – Same for VU • Common Statewide Articulations Needed: – Too complicated, inefficient – Confusion for students 11

Dual Credit • Dual Credit Advisory Council – Coherent policy on AP and dual credit courses – Priority courses in the liberal arts identified at December 2009 meeting • CHE – Updated 2005 Policy on Dual Credit at its February 2010 meeting – NACEP (National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships) accreditation referenced, but not required 13

Dual Credit Subcommittee of STAC • Subcommittee Focusing on: – Reviewing institutional dual credit programs that are not NACEP accredited (both public and ICI) – Completing review by September – After September, identifying what information should be reported on a regular basis and according to what timetable 15

Besides Dual Credit Courses • Advanced Placement – (4 -person team from College Board coming to STAC meeting on April 30) • • International Baccalaureate CLEP CAEL ACE/Dantes/DSST 16

Tracking Students • Using CHE SIS Data • Adding ICI SIS Data • Challenge: Lack of Transcript-Level Data 17

Transfer-Related Technology • Outside Funding Opportunities Will Affect Transfer. IN Budget • If Federal SLDS Grant Comes Through, We Will Be Able To: – Add ICI institutions to a greater extent – Add learning outcomes to courses descriptions 18
