Reverse Transfer 

The National Student Clearinghouse’s reverse transfer is the first national automated solution that enables course and grade data to be transferred from a four- or two-year institution to any two-year institution to award an associate degree to eligible students.

You will be notified via email and an announcement in DrexelOne if you qualify to participate in reverse transfer with instructions on how to opt into the process.

Yes. Your record is protected under FERPA as this is a completely optional process and no student data will be transferred without your consent to share your Drexel University student data with your prior institution.

Once you have opted into the reverse transfer through your DrexelOne account courses completed at Drexel University will transfer back to the prior institution for evaluation and to be assigned credit in their associate’s degree program.

Yes. All courses completed at Drexel will be sent to your prior institution for evaluation for transfer credit into their programs.

No. Currently the transfer reporting will not end unless you specifically instruct Drexel University to end your participation in reverse transfer. There is an option to stop the transfer of your courses to your previous institution in the DrexelOne opt-in application.

No. The reverse articulation process is a means of earning your associate’s degree while actively completing your bachelor’s degree at Drexel University.

Courses transferred back to your prior institution will be evaluated for the program of study you attended while at that institution for degree completion requirements. Students can receive an associate’s degree if all program requirements are completed through the reverse articulation. 

Depending on prior articulation requirements being met students can receive a credential from the prior institution. Please contact your prior institution for more information on how to receive their official credential of the associate’s degree.

Yes. You can be awarded an associate’s degree in the same major your enrolled in at Drexel University as a Bachelor’s degree is a higher level credentialled degree program that will differ in the amount and type of courses you will need to complete to earn a bachelor's degree.

No. Drexel will not award the associate’s degree. If you opt-out of the reverse transfer process in DrexelOne after you complete your associate’s degree Drexel University will check your awarded status with the prior institution to record that degree status in your prior institutional degree record.

Please contact your prior institutions student service or Registrar office for information on eligibility to attend their commencement activities.

As articulation agreements are built a list of institutions will be provided below.
