Pilot Project • Worked with Cleveland State University • CSU assisted us in identifying students • Notification was sent out by CSU advising the students of the opportunity to get a Associate degree from Tri-C. • A waiver allowing the students transcript to be sent to Tri-C for evaluation was filled out by students.
