500 Plus Colleges and Universities Get Serious About College Transfer with AcademyOne

CollegeTransfer.net helps students transfer successfully and complete their degree. Over five-hundred colleges and universities have Transfer Profile pages to help students compare college transfer options and make better, more informed education decisions.

WEST CHESTER, Pa., Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- CollegeTransfer.net is the only place where hundreds of institutions are voluntarily working together to support transfer students with Transfer Profile pages. Transfer Profile pages give students the information and resources they need to transfer successfully.

"A critical mass of over five-hundred postsecondary institutions should be the tipping point for motivating non-participating institutions to cooperate for the benefit of students and our economy," said David Moldoff, president and founder of AcademyOne. "Over five-hundred Transfer Profile pages represents a significant milestone for AcademyOne and demonstrates that college transfer must be proactively addressed to help students and the academic institutions that serve them," Moldoff continued.

AcademyOne, a leader in innovative technology solutions for higher education launched the CollegeTransfer.net website in February of 2007. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), 60% of students attend two or more colleges on their way to earning a bachelor's degree. This trend is expected to increase as more students elect to begin their post-secondary education at community colleges to save tuition dollars and adult learners return to the college classroom seeking marketable skills and credentials to stay competitive in a shrinking job market.

By going to the CollegeTransfer.net website, students may visit any college or university's Transfer Profile page and instantly learn about its transfer policies, services and staff that can help them have a smooth and successful transfer experience. The easy to read, single page format provides important information for prospective transfer students and allows them to instantly send admissions inquiries directly through the website.

The free Transfer Profile feature is a recent addition to CollegeTransfer.net. The rapid and positive response by students and institutions to this service reflects the information demands of transfer students as well as the shift in marketing and enrollment needs of colleges and universities.

AcademyOne invites all colleges and universities that are looking for ways to help the growing population of mobile learners and increase their "transfer friendliness," to create a Transfer Profile page at www.CollegeTransfer.net at no cost. CollegeTransfer.net is an especially valuable resource for colleges hoping to connect with a growing adult learner population that has varied educational experiences. Often times adult learners return to school with numerous transcripts and prior learning experiences from multiple education providers including employer based, military, online and traditional coursework.

Navigating transfer between colleges and universities can be a difficult process which can result in a loss of college credit for students, increased student and family debt, delayed time to graduation and ultimately labor and workforce challenges for business and industry. CollegeTransfer.net is an innovative resource to designed support multi-institutional learners and the education providers that serve them.
