PA TRAC

Pennsylvania’s College Credit Transfer System saves time and money by allowing students to take their hard-earned credits wherever they go."

Dr. Gerald Zahorchak, Former Secretary
Pennsylvania Department of Education
Pennsylvania’s College Credit Transfer System is a great resource, because it helps students like me, who are trying to transfer from a community college to a four-year university but don’t have a clue what to do about it."

Tyler McClenithan, Student
Lehigh Carbon Community College
The greatest impact for community colleges has been the increase in awareness of transferability to PASSHE universities among our students. The legislation has helped to counter myths about community college credits not transferring."

Dr. Art Scott, President
Northampton Community College
Since 2006, we have seen nearly a 20% increase in the number of transfers with a 36% increase in those transferring with more than 60 credits. One in four of our new admissions is now a transfer student - now that’s success!"

Dr. John Cavanaugh, Chancellor
PA State System of Higher Education
As a community college student and a future transfer student, the PA TRAC website was a tremendous help. The information on the site seems to recognize what a "community college" student goes through."

Lauren Smith, Student
Lehigh Carbon Community College
As an "opt-in" institution, we are excited to offer our students the ability to transfer seamlessly to any of the state system universities. The PA TRAC website is user-friendly and has been a tremendous help as our students explore their transfer options."

Barb Nowogorski, Transfer Coordinator
Lackawanna College
PA TRAC is very convenient and fast. In no time, I found the course equivalency for my summer class. It’s truly a great website for students wishing to transfer."

Cassie Bigi, Student
California University of PA
By reducing barriers to the transfer of credit among community colleges and four-year institutions, Pennsylvania’s statewide transfer and articulation system has improved access, reduced time to completion and decreased the amount of lost time and money for transfer students."

Dr. Peter Hawkes, Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences
East Stroudsburg University of PA
This transfer system and PA TRAC website have given me more options than I thought I had. If more people knew about this, more would be understood about the transfer process."

Michelle Anthony, Student
Harrisburg Area Community College
As a participating college since 2009, we have found the college credit transfer system easy to administer and intuitive for students and faculty to use. We hope to greatly expand its use in the future as we continue to develop articulations with other institutions in Pennsylvania."

Mr. Thomas Gregory, Dean
Pennsylvania College of Technology
This website provides a quick, easy and informative way to solve the puzzle of transfer. PA TRAC is a valuable tool for any transfer student to use."

Julian Costa, Student
East Stroudsburg University of PA
The statewide transfer and articulation system has made it easier and more transparent for students to know what courses to take before they transfer and how those credits will count toward a degree when they transfer. The process is good for the institutions, but more importantly it is good for the students."

Dr. William Williams, Vice President of Academics
Slippery Rock University of PA
The collaboration among 28 + PA institutions of higher education was unprecedented and has clearly strengthened our relationships with area community colleges..."

Dr. Darla Spence Coffey, MSW, Associate Provost

The ability to transfer credits from one institution to another has been a critical part of my academic success. The Course Equivalency search feature of the website is a valuable resource for any student planning to transfer."

Elijah Rach, Student
California University of PA
Pennsylvania's statewide transfer and articulation provides students with a tool they can use to determine equivalencies prior to transferring to the university. Plus, students have 24/7 access to transfer information to help them achieve their academic and career goals."
