S-7: Academic Program Closures: Background and Reasons for Closure
Minnesota State Colleges and Universities
Background
Board policy and system procedure require periodic review of all academic programs and place the responsibility with each college
and university as follows:
Board Policy 3. 36 Part 7. Academic Review. Each system college and university shall regularly review its academic programs for the
purpose of academic planning and improvement.
Each system college and university shall submit an annual summary of its academic program review activity to the chancellor.
The chancellor, as appropriate, may conduct statewide or regional reviews of academic programs or program clusters, report findings to
the Board of Trustees and, when necessary, impose conditions on academic programs.
Procedure 3.36.1 Part 7. Academic Review. Periodic review of academic programs is the responsibility of the college or university. The
review shall encompass all instructional areas and be structured according to discipline, academic program or program cluster,
department or other academic unit.
Program Review Criteria
While each institution has some latitude concerning the timeframe and criteria for program review, most institutions conduct an
annual review of all or part of the programs on a 2-3 year rotating basis. The most common criteria for reviewing a program’s
viability include:
•
•
•
•
•
Current and projected enrollment ( and enrollment trends)
Number of graduates
Related employment of graduates
Labor market projections
Credit hours generated by the program
S-22
•
•
•
•
Student: Staff ratios
Program cost ( esp compared to other like programs in the system)
Student / alumni satisfaction
Employer feedback ( program quality and satisfaction with graduates’ skills)
There is no single “score “ or criteria that determines whether a program is to be considered for closure but low student
enrollment/ student interest is by far the most frequently give reason for program closure. We estimate that 90% - 95% of all
closures were due entirely or in part to low enrollment and lack of student interest in the program. Sometimes, an institution may
keep a low enrollment program open to meet local employer needs or to provide an opportunity to turn the program around.
Financial conditions are the second most common reason for program closures. The budget reductions incurred by the institutions
in 2008 and 2009 resulted in the elimination of programs that generated student enrollment but were deemed to not be the highest
priority for the institution or system.

S-16: General Description of Allocation Framework Components
Minnesota State Colleges and Universities
April, 2007
INSTRUCTION AND ACADEMIC SUPPORT
Rationale for method: Provides comparable funding for similar programs. Allows for mission differentiation and flexibility to pursue unique
goals and program mix.
Data Used:
1) Actual instruction and academic support expenditures for each program at each institution at the level of instruction (lower division, upper
division, and graduate).
2) Actual FYE for each program at each institution at the level of instruction.
3) Institutional academic support expenditures per total FYE is added to each academic program when calculating instruction and academic
support costs.
How it works:
A 20% band around the system average (10% above and 10% below) for each instructional program is calculated. If the cost per FYE of an
institution’s program is:
1) “Average Cost” (within the band), the institution is allocated the same level of expenditures per FYE for that program;
2) “High cost” (above the upper 10% band), the institution’s allocation is reduced to the level of the upper band for that program.
3) “Low Cost” (below the lower 10% band), the institution’s allocation is increased to the level of the lower band.
The amount per FYE that a program is above or below the band is then multiplied by the number of FYE in the program to get a total allocation
for the program. The total instructional and academic support allocation for the institution is arrived at by summing the total allocation for each
of its programs. The program cost increases (or decreases) are added (or subtracted) from the institution’s base to arrive at a net adjustment to
the base instructional expenditures. Beginning in FY2006, a three year rolling average of instruction and academic support was added to
improve predictability and create stability with this category.
Principle Policy Choices that Impact Outcomes
Lowering overall program costs while maintaining enrollment; and increasing FYE’s while maintaining expenditure levels.
ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT
Rationale for approach: Recognize core administrative activities and account for differences in enrollment and institutional type.
Administrative Support is composed of Institutional Support and Student Services based on IPEDS definitions.
Data:
1) Expenditures of national data set of colleges and universities in similar Carnegie classifications
2) FTE enrollment of national data set of colleges and universities in similar Carnegie classifications
S-36
S-16: General Description of Allocation Framework Components
Minnesota State Colleges and Universities
April, 2007
3) MnSCU college and university FYE enrollment
How it works:
A core cost and a variable cost is estimated using the administrative expenditures and enrollments of the national data set of colleges and
universities in similar Carnegie classifications. The core and variable costs are calculated separately for colleges and universities. Beginning in
FY2006, a three year rolling average of administrative support was added to improve predictability and create stability with this category.
Principle Policy Choices that Impact Outcomes
The allocation calculation is based on an external measure. As long as an institution’s expenditures are below the estimated spending level of
the national data set, an institution’s costs will be covered.
FACILITIES
Rationale for approach: Recognize the costs related to the operation, maintenance and repair of an institution’s physical plant.
Data:
1) Square feet (current operating square feet of buildings); 2) Headcount enrollment 3) Utility costs; and 4) Leases.
How it works:
Benchmarks of $1.80 per square foot for maintenance and operations and $1.50 per square foot for repair and replacement. Other smaller
impacts include costs for utilities (average expenditures of previous three years or an adjustment for institutions with a steam plant), large
leases for instructional purposes, multiple campus factor, and residential living factor.
Principle Policy Choices that Impact Outcomes
Keep costs below the allocation per square foot for operations and repair and replacement. Most institutions are well below this threshold.
LIBRARY
Rationale for approach: Recognizes the unique mission differences between college and university libraries. Fund institutions close to national
benchmarks.
Data:
1) Total operating costs from the Instruction and Academic Support, Administration, and Facilities categories of the allocation framework.
How it works:
The Library function is calculated as a percentage of an institution’s total operating costs. Colleges are allocated 3.5% of total operating
expenditures and universities are allocated 6% of total operating expenditures.
S-37
S-16: General Description of Allocation Framework Components
Minnesota State Colleges and Universities
April, 2007
Principle Policy Choices that Impact Outcomes
The measure is based on an external measure, and consequently, as long as an institution’s expenditures are below the estimated benchmark,
an institution’s costs will be covered.
RESEARCH AND PUBLIC SERVICE
Rationale for approach: Funds colleges and universities at a rate similar to national peers.
Data:
1) FY1999 expenditures of peer groups (unrestricted funds)
2) Total operating costs from the Instruction and Academic Support, Administration, Library and Facilities categories of the allocation framework
How it works:
The peers of MnSCU’s colleges spend 1.17% of operating expenditures on research and public service. The peers of MnSCU’s universities spend
2.62% of operating expenditures on these activities. These percentages are applied to an institution’s total operating costs.
Principle Policy Choices that Impact Outcomes
The measure is based on an external measure. As long as an institution’s expenditures are below the estimated peer level, an institution’s costs
will be covered.
ENROLLMENT ADJUSTMENT
Rationale for Approach: Accounts for the difference between how the state funding formula in the past recognized Non-resident and Nonreciprocity (NR/NR) and Midwest Student Exchange Program (MSEP and how the allocation framework does.
Data:
1) Total Expenditures (from the Instruction and Academic Support, Administration, Library, Facilities and Research and Public Service categories)
per total FYE
2) NRNR and MSEP enrollment (FYE)
How it works:
1) Determine the total allocation per FYE to arrive at a simulated “per FYE allocation”.
2) Multiply the number of NR/NR by 50%.
3) Multiply the number of MSEP by 50%.
4) Reduce an institution’s per FYE allocation from #1 by the number of NR/NR and MSEP in #2 and #3 above.
6) Redistribute the total amount reduced for all institutions based on percent share of total allocation.

S-16: General Description of Allocation Framework Components
Minnesota State Colleges and Universities
April, 2007
Principle Policy Choices that Impact Outcomes
Reduce the number of non-resident and non-reciprocity students.
TUITION OFF-SET
Rational for Method: The allocation framework allocates only state appropriations. State appropriation revenue is isolated from the other
general fund revenue (primarily tuition) as a means to recognize only the state appropriation expenditures in the instructional cost comparisons
and in other framework categories.
Data:
1) Total institutional General Fund expenditures
2) Total institutional General Fund revenue, categorized by: a) state appropriation revenue; and b) All “other” revenue -- revenue that is not
state appropriation (primarily tuition revenue)
How it works:
For each institution, divide the “other” revenue by total general fund expenditures to arrive at a percentage. This percentage is applied against
institutional expenditures to isolate the state appropriations. The greater reliance on state appropriation, the lower the tuition off-set.
Principle Policy Choices that Impact Outcomes:
The tuition offset has an impact on all allocation framework categories. In all categories except instruction, the tuition offset is applied at the
end of the calculation becoming, in a sense, a discount on the allocation. Consequently, institutions with a relatively higher tuition offset would
receive lower appropriation allocation, all else being equal.
Within the instruction and academic support category, the tuition buy down is applied in two steps in the calculation. In the first step, the
tuition revenue offset creates a direct discount on total instructional expenditures. Consequently, a relatively low tuition offset results in a
higher state appropriation allocation. In the second step, where expenditures for similar programs are compared, a program with a higher
discount (and lower cost) would perform better in the direct comparisons, all else being equal. The first step has a greater impact than the
second step.
S-39
Capital Projects
Campus debt service accounts for less than 1% of campus
general fund revenue and total campus expenses. For every
dollar of tuition, less than 2 cents goes to pay capital debt
service. A full-time student paid $22.50 per semester for
capital debt service in 2006 and $40.65 in 2012.
MnSCU capital projects supported approximately 17,000
construction jobs between 2006-12.
During the 2012 session, the legislature appropriated $132
million for college and university capital needs. All $20
million for HEAPER has been deployed by the campuses in
the form of 34 projects that employ Minnesotans working
for 180 local contractors and subcontractors. An additional
$112 million funded 21 major capital projects that address
workforce/skills gap needs of business and industry. All are
under contract with 250 local firms.
FY 2012 Approved Investments
$132 million total – rapid execution
• Essential repairs (HEAPR): $20 million
• 34 projects in 26 communities
• 180 contracts with A/Es, contractors, and subs
• 45% of funds encumbered as of Dec. 31, 2012
•
Goal: 100% by Sept. 30, 2013, 100% spent by Dec.
30, 2013
• Workforce/skills gap projects: $112 million
• All 21 major design and construction projects under
contract
• 250 contracts with A/Es, contractors and subs
Systemwide, there has been an increase in the efficiency
with which space is used. Space utilization (student credit
hour per square foot) has increased 18.7% over 10 years
(2001 – 2011).
Over the past two years, energy consumption has been
reduced by 9%.

Successful Transfer of Credit
Report to the Legislature
Minnesota State Colleges and Universities
February 15, 2013
S-45
S-46
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This year’s Report to the Legislature on Successful Transfer of Credit summarizes the continuing
progress of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities in improving credit transfer procedures
and communication throughout the system.
1. The legislature requested that a study be made of effective mechanisms for transfer in other
states. The 2011-2012 study found that MnSCU had implemented almost all of the best
practices identified in the literature. MnSCU is committed to ongoing review of other states’
transfer policies and practices. The 2012-13 study highlighted major initiatives in Ohio and
California, where transfer guarantees are being offered beyond the core general education
curriculum. Consideration of such options will be a central part of the system’s 2013-14 agenda.
2. A study conducted by the MnSCU Office of Internal Auditing found that 91% of credits transfer
accurately into state colleges and universities. A student survey also identified process and
communication improvements to improve students’ satisfaction with transfer, and MnSCU is
implementing each of them employing a continuous improvement process. One measure of
success is the total absence of transfer inquiries or appeals at the system level in 2012. Over
five years, 2007-2011, 17 inquiries or appeals had been submitted.
3. The Smart Transfer Plan was designed in 2011 to address the 9% of transfer inaccuracies
identified by the Internal Auditor’s study as well as other issues raised by students. The 2011
Plan has been fully implemented, and a 2012 revision distributed. The Smart Transfer Plan has
1) dramatically improved the accessibility of course equivalency information for transfer
planning; 2) significantly improved the transfer information available on college and university
websites; and 3) improved the understanding of transfer among staff, faculty and
administrators through increased training opportunities.
4. Articulation agreements provide clarity about how specific career programs transfer, and how
specific already-approved courses transfer. New statewide agreements for health sciences,
engineering and nursing were finalized in 2012.
5. Successful credit transfer remains a major priority for the Chancellor and the Board of Trustees
and is tracked by a transfer measure on the Accountability Dashboard as well as by annual
reports on transfer.

INTRODUCTION
This annual report is submitted to the Minnesota State Legislature pursuant to Minnesota Session
Laws 2010, Chapter 364 Section 38 (d) and summarizes the activities of the Minnesota State Colleges and
Universities toward achieving its credit transfer goals and the results of those activities.
Prior reports have been submitted to the legislature on February 1, 2011 and February 1, 2012. The
2011 report included information on the new Smart Transfer Plan, designed to improve credit transfer
procedures and communication throughout the MnSCU system.
Legislation passed in 2011 (Laws 2011, Chapter 5, Section 14) additionally provides:
“When providing the report required by Laws 2010, chapter 364, section 38, the Board of
Trustees of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities shall provide information about
progress made toward achieving the goals described in the system's smart transfer plan,
and shall provide information about the number of students transferring between and
among the system's two- and four-year institutions during the previous fiscal year. In
addition, the Board of Trustees shall include a system study of mechanisms for effective
transfer in other states.”
Accordingly, the 2012 report summarized progress on implementation of the Smart Transfer Plan and
provided data on the numbers of students transferring within the system and the credits they
transferred, for fiscal years 2008 through 2011. The report also reviewed promising practices in student
transfer and articulation across the country.
The current report details further progress in systemwide implementation of the Smart Transfer Plan
as well as continued significant growth in the number of credits successfully transferred within the
Minnesota State Colleges and Universities.
MnSCU IS A NATIONAL LEADER IN BEST PRACTICES
A growing body of research literature since 2000 has identified policies and best practices for student
transfer. Studies published by the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education and Hezel
Associates in 2010 (funded by the Lumina Foundation), by the Education Commission of the States in
2010, and by the Center for the Study of Community Colleges in 2011, are in agreement on what
colleges and universities can do to promote effective transfer and articulation.
Hezel Associates (2010) reported on U.S. transfer and articulation and provided a comprehensive
taxonomy of what they described as promising practices in statewide transfer and articulation systems.
The taxonomy consists of five broad sets of policies and practices: Statewide Collaboration,
Communication of Policies, Academic Policies, Use of Data, and Additional Promising Practices. The
following paragraphs discuss the promising practices listed by Hezel Associates, and provide an
indication of the extent to which these policies and practices are in place within the Minnesota State
Colleges and Universities system. This discussion is summarized in Table 1 on pages 14-15.
1. Statewide Collaboration
Statewide Collaboration is described as having two key components. The first is a statewide,
standing committee focusing on multi-institution transfer and articulation. This committee
may propose policies, review their effectiveness, monitor statewide data on transfer, and other
tasks.
S-48
 The Hezel report cited MnSCU’s Transfer Oversight Committee as being a notable
example of this type of committee. Massachusetts and Rhode Island were mentioned as
being among other states having effective statewide standing committees.
The second component of effective statewide collaboration cited in the report is the involvement of
faculty in policy development and implementation. The report notes that faculty buy-in is critical
to effective implementation of transfer policy, and this is best achieved when faculty are involved in
the development of these policies.
 The MnSCU system is notable because faculty are included in both the Transfer Oversight
Committee and the Academic and Student Affairs Policy Council, which is the body that
reviews all systemwide academic and student affairs policy proposals and recommends
all new policies and policy amendments. At the campus level, faculty are similarly
involved in review and development of academic policies.
2 . Communication of Policies
Communication of Policies is key to having effective transfer and articulation. Students must have
accurate information about the transferability of courses, and advisors must have accurate
information about transfer regulations, course equivalencies, and other aspects of transfer. The
establishment of a state-level office or official whose sole or primary purpose is to facilitate a
statewide approach to transfer and articulation is noted as a promising practice to achieve
effective communication. Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi are among the states that have such an
office or official.
 Within MnSCU, the Office of Transfer and Collaboration is responsible for assisting
colleges and universities in achieving their goals for effective transfer, and engages in a
number of other activities noted below. This Office is also charged with responsibility for
assuring full implementation of the Smart Transfer Plan.
Designation of campus or state-level personnel as contact persons for transfer and articulation is
an important component for effective communication of policies.
 Within MnSCU, at the system level, the System Director for Transfer and Collaboration
heads the Office of Transfer and Collaboration and is the primary contact person for all
aspects of transfer. The System Director maintains communication with a statewide
network of campus Transfer Specialists, at least one at each college and university, who
are responsible for implementing policies and practices related to transfer at their
respective campuses and ensuring that students and advisors are provided appropriate
information. Ohio, Nevada, and New York have similar designations of personnel at the
campus level.
Policies may also be effectively communicated by maintaining a presence at fairs, summits,
conferences, and meetings to communicate with students and their families about transfer and
articulation.
 Within MnSCU, at the campus level this function is generally filled by the Transfer
Specialists, who may be part of a college or university presence at College Fairs. At the
System level, individuals with knowledge of transfer represent the system at the annual
National College Fair held in Minneapolis. Beyond this, the Office of Transfer and
Collaboration convenes a number of meetings annually to provide training and
S-49
workshops for Transfer Specialists, advisors, and others to ensure that they are being
provided the latest information on transfer.
Effective communication may be enhanced by building a strong presence for articulation and
transfer on the web.
 MnSCU has been a leader in this area, having been one of the first states to establish a
web portal for transfer, MnTransfer.org. On this system portal, system-level information
about transfer is available for both students and educators. Educators have access to all
policies and documents related to transfer. Students are provided tools for transfer
planning, including links to the system’s web-based course equivalency tool, u.select. In
addition, Board policy and the Smart Transfer Plan include requirements that colleges
and universities place prominent links to transfer information for students on the home
page of their websites.
Finally, the Hezel Associates report suggests that communication may be improved by including
student feedback in articulation and transfer policies and practices.
 Again, MnSCU provides a model for other states, as students are included as full
members of both the Transfer Oversight Committee and the Academic and Student
Affairs Policy Council, so that student input into transfer policies and practices is
provided at the very highest levels. The System also partnered with the student
associations in conducting a survey of student satisfaction with transfer that led to the
development of a number of policy revisions aimed at improving the transfer experience
for our students. Both Minnesota State College Student Association and Minnesota State
University Student Association play leadership roles in informing the system about
student needs relative to planning and ensuring effective transfer.
3.
Academic Policies
Academic Policies that promote effective statewide transfer have been adopted in a number of
states. Statewide articulation agreements between program majors have been implemented in
Alabama, Colorado, and New Mexico.
 MnSCU has begun the development of similar articulation agreements with the recent
adoption of a statewide articulation agreement for a broad field major in Health
Sciences, and in 2012, in Engineering. A revised statewide articulation agreement in
Nursing was also approved in 2012. The statewide agreements are a significant
improvement over individual college-to-university agreements because they allow a
student who completes the program at a community college to transfer to any state
university included in the agreement, rather than be limited to the single partner in the
individual articulation agreement.
Common General Education core requirements provide a way for community college students to
meet the general education requirements of a university and be granted credit for having
completed them as a package upon transfer, with or without a completed associate’s degree.
 The Minnesota Transfer Curriculum was one of the early examples of such a common
general education core program. Other versions have been developed in Arkansas,
Oregon, and Utah.
S-50
In 2012, the Office of Transfer and Collaboration conducted a review of the Minnesota Transfer
Curriculum at each college and university to ensure that courses meet the criteria for inclusion. A
report of each review was shared with the college or university with a request for response, and
changes have been completed accordingly. In addition, the systemwide Transfer Oversight
Committee has begun a process to review new courses proposed for inclusion in the Minnesota
Transfer Curriculum.
The Hezel report notes that Common Course Numbering has been implemented in a number of
states. However, the report cautions that common course numbering of lower-division courses can
be quite difficult to implement, possibly referring to an earlier report by the American Association of
State Colleges and Universities which stated that for two-year to four-year transfers, a common
general education core is preferable to common course numbering because it is more flexible and
much less complex.
 The public higher education systems in Minnesota have twice been required to report on
the feasibility of implementing common course numbering, and both reports concluded
that it would be complex, expensive, and not targeted at the issues that underlie the
unsuccessful 9% of attempted credit transfer that is unsuccessful.
Finally, Hezel Associates note that several states have recently enacted policies that guarantee
admission to a state university for students who have completed an associate’s degree. These are
generally states where the public universities have been forced to limit enrollments, a situation that
does not exist within MnSCU. It should be noted that these policies do not usually guarantee
admission to any specific campus, only to a public university within the state system.
4.
Use of Data
The Use of Data to support transfer and articulation policy implementation is a relatively recent
innovation in several states. Assessment of transfer initiatives, including evaluation of transfer
and articulation policies and transfer students’ progress, is essential in order to understand what
is and what is not working.
 The MnSCU Office of Internal Auditing conducted such an assessment in 2010, and the
results of this assessment have guided the development of the Smart Transfer Plan and
recent enhancements of MnSCU transfer policies.
Assessing student success through quantitative measures of individual student-level indicators of
performance is something that few states are able to do.
 The Integrated Statewide Record System used by MnSCU provides this ability, and this
shared database of student records allowed the study conducted by the Office of Internal
Auditing to proceed in such detail.
The report also urges expansion of reporting of results of transfer and articulation assessments.
 MnSCU reports a Transfer measure on the Board of Trustees’ Accountability Dashboard
website in order to provide a public indication of achievement and accountability related
to transfer. In addition, the system has for a number of years produced Transfer Student
Profile reports on the number of students who transfer within the system, the number of
credits transferred, and measures of transfer student performance, persistence and
graduation. A sample of recent data can be found in Tables 2 and 3 on pages 16-19.
S-51
5.
Additional Promising Practices
The Hezel Associates report notes several additional promising practices that do not fit easily within
any of the other four categories. The development of a transfer student bill of rights may ease the
uncertainty that students may experience as they attempt to navigate transferring from one
institution to another. Florida and Colorado are mentioned as having such a covenant with
students.
 Responding to a proposal from the statewide student associations, the Academic and
Student Affairs Policy Council developed a new system policy on Transfer Rights and
Responsibilities. The policy was approved in 2012 by the Board of Trustees, and clearly
details both student and institutional rights and responsibilities relative to transfer.
Development and dissemination of statewide principles related to transfer and articulation can
guide decision making on transfer and can support the development and implementation of effective
transfer policies and practices.
 Within MnSCU, the Office of Transfer and Collaboration has developed systemwide
principles and guidelines for transfer, and these resources are posted on the
MnTransfer.org website.
The development of alternate pathways for degree completion provides options for students who
may have transferred from a community college to a university prior to completing an associate’s
degree and who then drop out of the university without having completed the bachelor’s degree.
Nevada has developed a program called “reverse transfer” which allows a student in this situation
to transfer credits earned at the university back to the community college, thereby completing the
degree requirements for the associate’s degree.
 In 2011 MnSCU began implementation of Graduate Minnesota, a project supported by a
grant from the Lumina Foundation, in which students who have left college after earning
a significant number of credits are encouraged to return to have their credits and related
work experience evaluated to determine how many additional credits they need to earn
a degree (or whether they have actually completed the requirements for a degree).
 In 2012, MnSCU was one of 12 state systems to receive another grant from the Lumina
Foundation for Credit When It’s Due, a project to encourage reverse transfer and
completion of associate’s degrees throughout the system. In reverse transfer, a student
who enrolls at a university after attending a two-year college, but without having
completed an associate’s degree, can potentially transfer university credit back to the
college to complete the associate’s degree. All of the system college and universities are
participating in this project. The project has a goal to award more than 3,500 new
associate’s degrees between 2013-2015.
There are a variety of promising practices for statewide transfer and articulation that have been
implemented by different states across the country. Given the emphasis that has been placed on
improving transfer by the Minnesota legislature, by the Board of Trustees, and by students, it should
come as no surprise that most of these promising practices have also been implemented by the
MnSCU system. An updated summary of these promising practices and how MnSCU is responding
to these is provided as Table 1 on pages 14-15.
S-52
In the spirit of continuous improvement, the system continues to explore additional ways to
improve the transfer experience of our students. In 2013-14, the system’s academic leadership and
committees will review and discuss recently developed progams and policies in Ohio, California,
Colorado and other states that guarantee transfer beyond the general education core.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SMART TRANSFER PLAN
The plan and subsequent policy actions by the MnSCU Board of Trustees required the publication of
systemwide transfer information on the Internet and required each system college and university to
post information necessary to determine the transferability of course credits, using a common
template, on their institutional websites.
The report submitted to the Legislature in February of 2011 described the Smart Transfer Plan that
was developed in order to respond to mandates to improve transfer. In 2012, the plan was
reviewed and modified with further improvements. Chief Academic Officers, the Transfer Advisory
Group, Transfer Oversight Committee, and transfer specialists all provided input to the revised
Smart Transfer Plan. The plan calls for implementation of policies and practices in five areas:
Course Outlines, DARS and Course Equivalencies, Appeals, Compliance and Communication about
Transfer, and Training.
These areas were selected because they responded directly to recommendations made in a study
of transfer within the system that was conducted by the Office of Internal Auditing during 2010.
The Internal Auditor’s report was quite revealing, because it demonstrated that 91% of the credits
presented for transfer by students transferring within the system are accepted. About one third of
the credit transfer problems experienced were related to acceptance of Minnesota Transfer
Curriculum courses, while another one-third of the problems were related to the determination of
course equivalencies. In addition, a survey conducted by the statewide student associations in
cooperation with the system office found that almost 90% of students who appealed a transfer
award determination had some or all of the contested credits accepted, but also noted that in
many cases students were not aware of their right to submit an appeal.
 The Smart Transfer Plan therefore focuses very directly on these areas of the transfer process.
For example, the credit evaluation that students receive when they transfer now contains a
message informing them of their right to appeal if they disagree with any of the credit transfer
decisions. Data will be collected in 2013 to determine if this information campaign has reduced
contested transfer and appeals.
Course outlines were the major focus of attention during the first year of Smart Transfer Plan
implementation. Changes to Board policy established course outlines as being the primary
documentation of course content to be used in establishing the equivalency of courses to be
transferred, and also established a common format to be used by all colleges and universities in the
development of course outlines. This would eliminate the requirement that students track down
professors to obtain the syllabus used in an individual course and subsequently finding that a
professor’s idiosyncratic syllabus did not contain all the information necessary to determine a course
equivalency. The Smart Transfer Plan established a requirement that all colleges and universities
post course outlines on their websites for all lower-division courses included in their Minnesota
Transfer Curriculum no later than the end of fiscal year 2011, making them publically available for
viewing by any interested parties.
 All institutions met this deadline. The plan calls for course outlines of all remaining courses to be
S-53
posted on institutional websites by the end of fiscal year 2013. Preliminary website reviews
show that achievement of this objective is also substantially complete.
In the area of DARS (the Degree Audit Reporting System) andCourse Equivalencies, the expectation
of the Smart Transfer Plan was that every institution would complete the evaluation of all Minnesota
Transfer Curriculum courses to determine equivalencies and encode those courses to display in
u.select, the publicly-available course equivalency database which can be accessed through the
MnTransfer.org website or directly. Colleges and universities have agreed to all aspects of the Smart
Transfer Plan and are making significant progress on this goal. The system office continues to
explore feasible ways to fully ensure compliance.
Appeals of transfer decisions were a major concern for the students who provided input into the
development of the Smart Transfer Plan. Accordingly, the plan requires enhancements to the
information provided to students on websites and on transfer evaluation documents, namely, clear
statements about their right to appeal transfer decisions, and notice that if an appeal at the
institution is unsuccessful an appeal at the system level is available.
 The Degree Audit form generated by the ISRS system and provided to students has been
modified so that it automatically prints a notification to students of their right to appeal the
transferability or application of credits earned at previous institutions.
 A survey of institutional websites conducted in 2012 confirmed that all colleges and universities
had posted information about transfer appeals on their websites, including information about
the option to appeal at the system level. In addition, information about system-level appeal is
now included on all appeal forms. These communication methods are proving successful. In
2012, there were no (0) transfer inquiries or appeals at the system level. Over five years, 20072011, seventeen (17) inquiries or appeals had been submitted.
Objectives in the Plan related to Compliance and Communication about Transfer centered on the
expectation that information provided to students about the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum would
be readily available on college and university websites and would be consistent and accurate.
Another primary goal in this area was that every college and university would have links to transfer
information posted on their institutional home pages, making transfer information highly visible
and accessible.
 A survey conducted in 2012 by the Office of Transfer and Collaboration identified instances
where college and university websites did not have accurate and consistent information about
their Minnesota Transfer Curriculum courses. The results of this survey were provided to the
individual colleges and universities with the expectation that corrections and changes be made.
Campuses have been making those changes, along with additional communication
improvements called for in the 2012 revision of the Smart Transfer Plan. Finally, college and
university websites were reviewed and found to have transfer information prominently
displayed on their home pages, or readily accessible from the home page.
Training of advisors and other staff involved in transfer is critical in order to make transfer and
articulation as effective as possible. The Smart Transfer Plan requires that the Office of Transfer
and Collaboration and the DARS/u.select unit in the system office will make training available so
that every MnSCU staff member involved in transfer is able to attend at least one training
session annually. Due to staff turnover and changes in technology and institutional curriculum,
ongoing training is vital to this effort. The DARS/u.select team regularly provides training in large
conference sessions, in smaller regional drop-in lab sessions, in training sessions for individual
S-54
campuses, and in regularly scheduled weekly open-lab sessions held in the system office. The
Transfer and Collaboration staff also provided training including the large annual conference for
Transfer Specialists, and a smaller orientation conference primarily for new Transfer Specialists.
In addition, two to four regional conferences for Transfer Specialists and other staff involved in
transfer are provided annually across the state, reducing the necessity for campus staff to travel
to one central location for training.
 Providing training for college and university staff members remains a high priority activity for
the system office.
In summary, the Smart Transfer Plan continues to be improved and full implementation is on track.
Colleges and universities achieved the objectives called for in the original version of the plan and are
now addressing new improvements in process and communication. System office staff continue to
monitor college and university progress.
INCREASE IN TRANSFER STUDENTS AND THE TRANSFER OF CREDIT
Table 2 on pages 16-17 provides full detail on the number of students transferring to MnSCU
colleges and universities, both from within the system as well as from institutions outside the
system, for fiscal years 2008 through 2012. Table 3 on pages 18-19 details the full-year equivalent
of credits transferred during these years (one full-year equivalent represents 30 credits.)
The number of students transferring within the system increased steadily and significantly from
2008 through 2011, with a small drop in 2012 at two-year colleges (corresponding with an overall 4%
drop in college enrollment during this same time period). The number of credits that students were
able to transfer continued to grow on pace, providing evidence of successful achievement of this
most important goal. A summary of this data is provided in Chart 1 and Chart 2 on page 12.
 The number of students transferring to state colleges increased by 40.2% between 2008 and
2012, while the number of students transferring to state universities increased by about 26.4%.
Over the same period, the number of credits transferred to state colleges increased by about
47% and the number of credits transferred to state universities increased by almost 40%. These
increases in students and credits transferring within the system are illustrated in the following
charts. Clearly, more students are transferring more often and with more credits within
Minnesota State Colleges and Universities.

As previously noted, MnSCU’s systemwide student database, ISRS, allows tracking of individual
student performance, and historically, data indicate that transfer students complete
baccalaureate degrees at higher rates than first-time university freshmen. In our 2014 report to
the legislature, we will provide trend data on transfer students’ credit accumulation, grades,
persistence and graduation rates. Student success, of course, is the true test of the effectiveness
of a system of transfer and articulation.
CONCLUSION
Effective and barrier-free transfer of credit remains a top priority for the Chancellor and the Board
of Trustees. Elimination of barriers to transfer is a key objective in the system’s Strategic Framework
implementation plan, and presidential evaluations include transfer measures. The Vice Chancellor
for Academic and Student Affairs continues to devote considerable time and effort to furthering the
goals of successful articulation and credit transfer. Statewide governance bodies in Academic and
Student Affairs have collaborated on continuous improvements to the Smart Transfer Plan. We
expect to report to the legislature in 2014 that the augmented Smart Transfer Plan has been fully
implemented, that credit transfer continues to increase and that student concerns regarding
transfer have dramatically decreased.
