Collaboration for Completion: Expanding Access With Course Sharing Infographic

Colleges and universities are focused on helping learners achieve their academic goals to put them on a path toward successful careers. But the reality is, 36% of first-time, full-time bachelor’s degree students don’t finish their degree within six years, and nearly two-thirds of learners seeking two-year degrees do not finish within three years.

One of the obstacles learners face is course availability. And for many institutions, it’s simply not feasible to offer every course learners need to stay on track each term. When students can’t access required courses, when they need them, it often results in delays, extra costs, and a longer path to graduation. This also creates additional stress and can lead to higher dropout rates — all of which impact their academic progress and future career opportunities.

Course sharing provides a solution.

Course sharing empowers learners to take courses across partner institutions, even if their home institution isn’t able to offer them every term. It creates new opportunities for learners, helping them stay on track, avoid delays, and graduate on time — while simplifying processes for administrators.

Here’s a closer look at the challenge of course availability for students and how course sharing can remove barriers to completion for learners.
