Originally Published 2 years ago — by Detroit News
The transfer process from community college to university can be a maze so confusing it derails students' college plans. Credit loss, when students take classes that never end up counting toward a degree, is one of the biggest obstacles. Sometimes it's a result of poor advising, while other times blame can lie with four-year colleges, which have varying rules for evaluating transfer credits. Ultimately, roughly half of community college students drop out. Some states have intervened to take subjectivity out of the process, but problems remain frustratingly common.
