Cluster Credit Transfer Information for Students
The tables listed in this section contain cluster credit transfer agreements between individual Public Post Secondary ECE Programs. The tables are organized alphabetically by receiving institution. The receiving institution is the ECE Program to which you wish to transfer your credits. The sending institution is the ECE Program from which you are transferring credits. These agreements include Basic and Post Basic levels of education, where applicable.
Each cluster credit transfer agreement has been created for a content area where course-by-course transfer is not available. To view your complete transfer options, please read the Early Childhood Education and Care Programs Course to Course Transfer Matrix first, and then proceed to the Cluster Credit Transfer Tables. The course-by course and cluster credit transfer tables are organized into 7 Categories: Child Development, Professional Practice, Program Development, Practicum, Children with Exceptionalities, Infant and Toddler, and Professional Practices.
