REVERSE TRANSFER PROCESS Clause Samples
The Reverse Transfer Process clause outlines the procedures and requirements for transferring assets, rights, or obligations back to the original party after a prior transfer. Typically, this clause specifies the conditions under which a reverse transfer may occur, the steps each party must take to effectuate the transfer, and any associated timelines or documentation needed. For example, it may apply when intellectual property or equipment is returned to the original owner at the end of a contract. The core function of this clause is to ensure a clear, orderly, and legally compliant process for returning transferred items, thereby minimizing disputes and confusion between the parties.
REVERSE TRANSFER PROCESS. A. Each Four-Year Institution will annually provide notification to currently enrolled students about the opportunity to obtain an associate degree under this Agreement through, at a minimum, publication of said notification in the institution’s catalog, student handbook, and website. Said notification shall include the eligibility requirements as stated in Section II, above, and the procedures by which a student may initiate the reverse transfer process through a request to the Four-Year Institution to transmit the student’s transcripts or academic data files to the Community College requested by the student. Upon receipt of such a request, each Four-Year Institution will determine whether the student meets the eligibility requirements in II.B, above, and II.D, above, inasmuch as II.D applies to financial obligations to the Four Year Institution. If the student is determined to have met those requirements, the Four-Year Institution will transmit the students’ transcripts or academic data files to the Community College requested by the student along with a notation that the student has indicated that they intend to seek a reverse transfer.
B. The Community College will conduct an audit in a timely fashion to determine whether the student meets the criteria in II.A, above, as well as II.D, inasmuch as II.D applies to financial obligations to the Community College and whether the associate degree requirements have been satisfied. (Note: The Community College will determine, using its sole discretion and according to its established policies, the acceptance of transfer credits.)
C. If necessary, the Community College will inform potentially eligible students of any additional procedures or requirements that must be completed in order for them to be awarded an Associate degree.
D. Upon either the successful completion of the audit described in III.D. above and, if applicable, the successful completion of any additional procedures or requirements, the Community College will grant the students an Associate degree for the semester in which the audit was successfully completed and, if applicable, all additional procedures or requirements are satisfied.
E. The Community College will inform students who are not eligible to be awarded a degree what course(s) and/or other requirement(s) remain to be completed.
REVERSE TRANSFER PROCESS. 1. Annually, SUS institutions shall determine which students meet the eligibility criteria outlined above to identify potential degree candidates.
2. Once potential degree candidates are identified, each SUS institution shall provide notification to potential candidates about the reverse transfer provision of the statewide articulation agreement. This notification must:
a. Specify that “opting in” does not guarantee the student will automatically be awarded the AA; it simply means the FCS institution will evaluate the student’s transcript to determine if they are eligible for the degree.
b. Include the statement of purpose, the name of the FCS institution to which the student’s information will be sent, and instructions for opting out of the process at any time.
3. Upon consent by the student, the SUS institution will transmit transcripts or academic data files for potential candidates to the FCS institution with a notation that the student has indicated that they intend to seek a reverse transfer.
4. The FCS institution will conduct a degree audit to determine whether the potential candidates meet all eligibility criteria, including criteria specified in subsection IV.
5. A student who intends to seek an AA degree under the terms of this Agreement will be governed by the graduation requirements set forth by the FCS institution.
6. Upon the successful completion of the degree audit described and, if applicable, the successful completion of any additional procedures or requirements, the FCS institution will confer the AA degree during the semester in which the audit was successfully completed. The FCS institution will notify the student of the award of the AA degree. The student’s transcripts will be updated accordingly to reflect the awarding of the AA degree.
7. The FCS institution will inform students who are not eligible to be awarded a degree what course(s) and/or other requirement(s) remain to be completed. Students shall be afforded due process under the appeals process and procedures outlined in the catalog at the degree-granting FCS institution.
8. The FCS institution will notify the registrar at the SUS institution regarding the outcomes of the degree audits.
