The CHE has placed significant emphasis on Transfer Excellence in recent years, to include facilitation of a statewide Transfer Excellence Task Force with representatives from institutions across all sectors of post-secondary education. This led to development of the South Carolina State Transfer and Articulation Action Plan, which was released in February 2023. The dashboard addresses recommendation two of the action plan, in compliance with South Carolina Proviso 117.135, which mandated the adoption of action plan recommendations across the state system of higher education by April 2024.

The dashboard is intended to promote transparency and data-driven decision-making, and facilitate informed discussions and collaborations among institutions, policymakers, and other key stakeholders.
