Project Status: Closed

This discovery project aims to discover a sustainable mechanism to share data and applications between Portland Community College (PCC) and Portland State University (PSU) in an attempt to increase our transfer population and gain actionable insights. Through a unified gathering of stakeholders we aim to design a solid, feasible, maintainable and effective solution that meets broad PSU needs, hitting on recruitment, admission, co-admission, transfer transition, and continued PSU enrollment/degree progress -- and most importantly - an ability to strengthen the advising partnership so our academic advisors can work more closely on a given students situation and pathway.  Additionally, this project aligns with and supports all of  the HECC work related to the Major Transfer Maps and improved transfer pathway. We have been allocated a one-time grant fund of $200,000 to initiate this discovery project.
