Transfer

The measure, passed on a bipartisan basis, would guarantee that more courses count toward students’ majors and require transparency on colleges’ transfer activity.

To improve transfer in the state, higher education leaders in Texas are working on curricular pathway plans for eight degree programs, helping students earn a degree faster, with less debt.

A new pilot program gives students who were formerly incarcerated or in the foster care system, and some low-income parents, money to help pay their living costs.

A new report shows the number of students transferring grew last fall, especially among disadvantaged groups, a tentatively hopeful sign to higher ed experts.
