In Pennsylvania, we believe we can increase a student’s chances of successfully transferring and completing a degree by having two-year and four-year institutions work together to ensure that credits transfer, regardless of where a student may eventually graduate.

That’s why in 2006 we passed Act 114, a measure designed to increase a student’s ability to transfer from one postsecondary institution to another without the costly and time-consuming need to re-take courses.

Developed by a collaboration of partners, including the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE), the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education and representatives from Pennsylvania’s community colleges and state-owned universities, PA TRAC provides students, advisors and administrators with easy access to information they need pertaining to college transfer.

Students planning to transfer to any of the participating institutions can immediately from PA TRAC by taking courses that fit into the Minimum Transfer Credit Framework. These approved courses are guaranteed to transfer into any major at any of the participating institutions and count toward the required number of credits a student needs to complete for graduation.
