The partnership is meant to simplify the transfer process by creating an easier path for students, providing access to advisors and helping students avoid losing credits when transferring.Tony Lazarowicz, administrative director for Transfer Initiatives at SCC, said the partnership focuses on helping students choose a more structured path and the right courses through their academic journey.“I think the thing that makes this different is the strategicness of the partnership,” Lazarowicz said. Lazarowicz said the partnership guarantees admission to UNL for SCC students who complete an associate degree with a minimum of a 2.0 GPA. The agreement applies to students regardless of which associate degree path they complete, but following an established academic pathway helps students avoid additional coursework when pursuing a bachelor's degree.Lazarowicz said the partnership also gives students access to academic advisors from both institutions throughout their time at SCC.“We have over 1,200 students this fall alone who indicated that they have a goal of transferring,” Lazarowicz said, “700 of them said that they intend to want to go to UNL.”Amy Goodburn, UNL’s senior associate vice chancellor and dean of undergraduate education, said the partnership also supports Nebraska’s workforce by helping more students earn a bachelor's degree and encouraging them to remain in the state after graduation.“We need students who have certain degrees to go into our workforce,” Goodburn said. “One of the biggest concerns from our legislature, and our governor, is that students leave Nebraska and go other places with their degrees.”She said students who begin their education at community colleges are more likely to remain in the region than students who come to universities from other states and may return home. “That's one way we can do it is by increasing the number of students who graduate from UNL and then stay in Nebraska,” Goodburn said.Goodburn said that SCC students who come to UNL typically do well. “I want them to know that we want them at UNL, that we believe they can be successful at UNL and that we really want to help them get here,” Goodburn said.Students can find more information about the transfer and agreement on the SCC website.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0qVfO0_1Gtp6pOw00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0qVfO0_1Gtp6pOw00" width="1763" height="1175" ></figure></div></body>
