Description
Interstate Passport® provides a new way for students to transfer general education learning attainment, but how does it ensure quality learning? Come learn about the Interstate Passport program’s built-in quality assurance mechanisms such as the Academic Progress Tracking, minimum grade requirements, a mapping assignment pilot, the Passport Review Board, and external evaluation. These mechanisms assure receiving institutions of incoming students’ quality of learning while also safeguarding sending institutions’ autonomy in determining how their students meet the Passport Learning Outcomes.
