Reverse Transfer Data
Data files are used to submit data through the PDP. They must include all of the necessary information and be properly formatted in order to be validated and processed by The Clearinghouse.
Reverse Transfer Data
Reverse transfer is when a 4-year school allows the Clearinghouse to send a student’s course data to a 2-year school that the student previously attended so that the student can receive an associate’s degree from the 2-year school.
For example: Student A enrolled in a 2-year school, completed 40 credits, and transferred to a 4-year school without earning a degree from the 2-year school. While Student A is enrolled at the 4-year school, the 4-year school can allow The Clearinghouse to send the student’s course data to the 2-year school. The 2-year school can then validate the courses and determine if the student has enough credits to receive an associate’s degree. If so, the 2-year school can award an associate’s degree to the student.
You may submit reverse transfer data as part of your course data file. See Submitting Data Files through FTP for details. For assistance submitting reverse transfer data, email RTSupport@studentclearinghouse.org.
