Section 135-60-3 - Definitions

3.1. Degree-Granting Institution (DGI) -- The degree-granting institution is the two-year institution that will award the associate degree to the reverse transfer student. If a student has earned credit hours at more than one institution offering an associate degree, the degree-granting institution will be the institution where the student has accumulated the greatest number of credit hours toward the associate degree. The degree-granting institution will count reverse transfer students in its yearly graduation report.

3.2. Host institution -- The host institution is the institution that will transfer credits back to the degree granting institution. The host institution may be either a four-year or another two-year institution.

3.3. West Virginia Reverse Transfer (WVRT) -- West Virginia Reverse Transfer refers to the statewide program that seeks to identify students who are often left without a postsecondary credential even though they have earned enough credits to be eligible for an associate degree.

3.4. WVRT eligible student -- The WVRT student is the individual who has earned 15 or more college-level, degree-applicable, transferable credits from a two-year institution and who does not currently hold an associate degree or higher. Upon entry into WVRT, the student seeks to complete the requirements for and be awarded the appropriate associate's degree.
