Reverse Transfer
What is Missouri Reverse Transfer?
The Missouri Reverse Transfer is a process that allows college students or former
college students who have completed credits for an associates degree to receive that
degree even if they have transferred to a different college or university, or dropped
out of higher education altogether.
This program is a statewide policy that helps more Missourians earn degrees. Find more detailed information on Missouri Reverse Transfer on the Missouri Department of Higher Education website.
