Our Other Data Exchange Services

Reverse Transfer

With Reverse Transfer, you can help learners receive the degrees they earned. Four- and two-year institutions can use free Reverse Transfer to securely send course and grade information to any participating two-year institution in the U.S. from which a student has transferred. If eligible, the student is then awarded an associate degree. Not only does Reverse Transfer improve transfer student retention and graduation rates, but it also alleviates reverse transfer workload for community colleges and universities.

SPEEDE Server

The SPEEDE Server is an electronic data exchange server that allows free, open, and secure exchange of student data and documents, including transcripts, between participating institutions nationwide. If you’re not already a user, you can register to become one.
