  1. Expectations and Opportunities Ohio Career Technical Administrators Association Spring 2010 Maximizing Student Transfer via Career-Technical Credit Transfer (CT)² http://regents.ohio.gov/careertechtransfer/index.php

  2. Goals for Today • Improve the understanding of Career-Technical Credit Transfer and establish the expectations associated with House Bill 66 (ORC 3333.162). • Gain an appreciation for the statewide nature of Career-Technical Credit Transfer and how its adoption can benefit secondary and adult learners. http://regents.ohio.gov/careertechtransfer/index.php

  3. Ohio’s Commitment to Transfer 1990 – Ohio Articulation and Transfer Policy – Ohio Transfer Module 2003 – H.B. 95 (ORC 3333.16) – Transfer Assurance Guides 2005 – H.B. 66 (ORC 3333.162) - Career-Technical Credit Transfer (CT)2 2007 – University System of Ohio

  4. Key Words and Phrases in House Bill 66 • Technical Education (not general education). • Public Supported (not available to private institutions). • Without Unnecessary Duplication or Institutional Barriers. • Common Equivalent Coursework. • Build Upon the Transfer Assurance Guides (TAGs). • Use Learning Outcomes as the Basis for Equivalency. http://regents.ohio.gov/careertechtransfer/index.php

  5. Important Considerations about (CT)² • Recognized industry standards have been interpreted to mean credentials or licenses. • Program charters, accreditations, or approvals are used as proof that learning outcomes are being met. • (CT)² does not supplant or undermine regional, bilateral agreements. It provides a minimum statewide course guarantee. • Career-Technical Assurance Guides (CTAGs) and Career-Technical Articulation Numbers (CTANs) serve as the “connector/translator” where credit is assigned to knowledge. • A barrier to implementation has been the acceptance of (CT)² and the failure to recognize that it is mandatory.

  6. Definitions • Career-Technical Assurance Guide (CTAG) • An overview of equivalent content and learning outcomes. • Comprised of one or more CTANs • Career-Technical Articulation Number (CTAN) • Comprises the CTAGs • Provides a numbering system for easy identification of content • Ohio Articulation Number (OAN) • CEMS is a Web-based tool that supports course/program submission, review, and posting of equivalent courses/programs. • CTAG Coordinator • (CT)² Contact • Course/Program Creation (part one of the submission process) • Match Creation (part two of the submission process)

  7. CTANs and OANs Serve as the Connectors or Translators Where Credit is Assigned to Knowledge TAGS and CTAGS TAGs A B Credit Course 3/S Crdts OAN Credit Course 4/S Crdts 4S/6Q (relative credit value) In TAGs, once courses are deemed equivalent students are awarded credit earned from the sending institutions. A CTAGs B Non-Credit Content CTAN Credit Courses 3/S Crdts 3S/4Q (relative credit value) In CTAGs, once content is deemed equivalent students are awarded credit offered by the receiving institutions.

  10. The Reality: If the Shoe Fits You Must Submit • Institutional Expectations • Course credit must be awarded to the matriculating student with verified CTAN numbers in one of two ways: • A course or program for which your institution has received (CT)² approval via validation panels. In such cases the courses and their associated credit hours will be transcripted and applied to the applicants technical major. • In the absence of an equivalent course, and when the institution offers the technical program, credit will be granted by the receiving institution that is no less than the minimum value of the CTAN or CTAG with the specifics determined by the receiving institution. http://regents.ohio.gov/careertechtransfer/index.php

  11. A Potpourri of Final Thoughts • Certificate of Verification. • What Students Must Bring to the Table (see “Just the Facts”). • Approved Programs and Courses. • Submitting Your Programs and Courses. • Help Tools at the Website. http://regents.ohio.gov/careertechtransfer/index.php

  12. What You Can Do to Help • Promote (CT)² in your catalogs and institutional information. • Familiarize yourself with the (CT)² website. • www.regents.ohio.gov/careertechtransfer • Find out the name of your CTAG coordinator and/or (CT)² contact person. • Call your validation center coordinator for help and assistance. http://regents.ohio.gov/careertechtransfer/index.php
