They must include all of the necessary information and be properly formatted in order to be validated and processed by The Clearinghouse.<\/p>\n<h2>Reverse Transfer\u00a0Data<\/h2>\n<p>Reverse transfer is when a 4-year school allows the Clearinghouse to send a student\u2019s course data to a 2-year school that the student previously attended so that the student can receive an associate&#8217;s degree from the 2-year school.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s 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&#8217;s degree. If so, the 2-year school can award an associate\u2019s degree to the student.<\/p>\n<p>You may submit reverse transfer data as part of your course data file.
