Transfer students who are coming from out-of-state community colleges and regional universities are disproportionately first-generation college students, students of color, and working-class students. When credits don’t transfer, they must retake courses they already paid for, extending their time to degree and increasing debt.
This is not a bureaucratic inconvenience. It is a structural barrier that reproduces socioeconomic inequality under the cover of academic “standards.” CreditPath makes that structure visible.
