Joseph asks CUNY how credit awards are publicized
Joseph asks whether credit awards are publicized to prospective students. Vine says CUNY lists credit awards on a website and in the Transfer Explorer tool, and will do the same for Civic Readiness once colleges award credit.
Is that also publicized to prospective students coming into the CUNY system?
Well, when we have coordinated system-wide evaluation of different learning experiences, once colleges have decided to award credit and those credit awards are in place,
For example, in the case of the seal of biliteracy, we have a website that lists all of the CUNY colleges that award credit and what those credit awards are.
Also, the information is entered into CUNY's student information system.
So it is searchable in CUNY's public-facing searchable database, CUNY's Transfer Explorer tool.
So that is available as well.
Is that also for civic readiness or just for biliteracy?
Well, at this time, since there aren't any colleges that are awarding credit for civic readiness, there aren't examples of that in place.
But we definitely have a model for making sure that that information is publicized as soon as there are colleges that are awarding credit for it.
And how do you plan on, will that also be added to the website as you've done for the biliteracy?
Yes, we would absolutely create a visible website where
students and high school counselors and teachers and families can find the information about where credit is available across the system.
