SUNY developing universal online class system - Nick Reynolds, the Stylus

A new online cross-registration system will allow students to have transferable credits between participating SUNY schools. Credits would be taken at any school, but would ultimately count toward your degree at your home school. The SUNY Board of Trustees approved a new online cross-registration system that will allow a seamless exchange of online classes across all 64 of SUNY’s campuses. “It’s about seamless transferability for students, it’s for a student in a community college or four-year [institution] moving from one SUNY to another,” said Peter Dowe, registrar for the College at Brockport. “The [SUNY] chancellor would like to see seamless transferability between all SUNY units. In the case for Brockport, a student would be able to take a class at [SUNY] Albany or Stony Brook [University] and have it apply to a Brockport degree.” The new system, while not yet in effect, is expected to be implemented in time for the fall 2013 semester http://www.thestylus.net/suny-developing-universal-online-class-system-1.3041721#.UYlix7WG32s
