The indexing of courses can be ad hoc if a student actually wants to change. It may also be based on comparison data for existing courses or on the basis of formal articulation agreements. In the latter case, representatives of the different institutions compare their respective courses to determine which courses are comparable and which courses are not. Their consensus is then formalized by a written agreement, used by students and consultants, which is regularly updated according to a common schedule. In general, articulation agreements document a path between two or more institutions or universities and their university programs. Joint agreements are also mentioned in transfer agreements, transfer guides and transfer routes for different target groups. It is important that there are three perspectives of articulation agreements: one per student/learner, the other according to the chain and the other by the receiving institution. If you pass your course at the required level and with good participation, you will be assured of reaching your chosen diploma. The ISP is entitled to reimbursement for the assistance it has taken to the failure management agency resulting from the start-up phase. One trail specialist believes that “the next admission cycle will see very aggressive third-party tactics and could be the most competitive recruitment cycle to date.” She fears that “commissions and incentives will be high, which will lead officers to bring students to the highest paying rate and not to the best university to meet their needs.” Negotiating a good package of services such as pickup, pickup, housing, purse money and classrooms is of great use. A representative of an ISP said, “Some of the new and new lane providers are ready not only to renovate residential buildings, but also to build new state-of-the-art buildings near the homes of directly accommodated students.” Since nothing is closer to the heart of higher education than to the quality of academic programmes, it makes sense that academic credit – with the guarantee of the progress of the curriculum in teaching – is one of the most critical aspects of negotiations between institutions and access providers. To better understand this thinking, the WES research team reviewed a number of contracts between U.S. companies and the best trail providers.
We also conducted interviews with people with first-hand experience in implementing such programs and reviewed the secondary literature.
