As one of its first deliverables, the Advisory Council on Transfer Success (ACTS) collaborated in early fall 2025 to develop a vision and guiding principles to anchor the Office of Higher Education’s transfer success project.
Vision: Michigan will build and maintain a cohesive and student-centered transfer landscape in which student progress towards educational and career goals is supported by efficient, consistent, and transparent transfer processes that optimize educational momentum across colleges and universities.
Michigan’s transfer success improvement efforts must center around students, value their prior educational investments, and empower them to efficiently complete their transfer pathway.
This project will coordinate actionable opportunities for Michigan colleges and universities to reduce administrative barriers for transfer students and optimize credit transferability and applicability to fulfill degree requirements.
These efforts will leverage technology, including www.mitransfer.org, to enhance transparency and improve consistency in transfer processes leading to a more predictable and fair experience for all of Michigan’s transfer students.
This work will embrace a data-informed strategy that prioritizes evidence-based decision-making. Additionally, the project will create opportunities to bolster our transfer data and evaluation infrastructure toward a culture for continuous improvement evaluation of transfer success efforts.
This currently time-limited project will facilitate network and infrastructure building toward enduring success of coordinated statewide transfer initiatives.
The Michigan legislature previously invested in other transfer success improvement work, including funding the State’s collaboratively developed transfer planning website at www.mitransfer.org. This website features a public database of transferable courses and options to earn credit for industry credentials at Michigan colleges and universities as well as other information helpful for transfer pathway planning. A robust secure user area helps facilitate transfer articulation workflows among participating Michigan colleges and universities.
