A reverse transfer agreement allows students to earn their associate degree from a two-year college while beginning their bachelor’s degree at Ferris State University. Reverse transfer is a degree-completion opportunity for students who have started their education at a community college and transfer to Ferris State University prior to the completion of their associate degree. A reverse transfer agreement may allow a student to reduce his/her time to degree and student debt.
Students who transfer to Ferris State from one of our reverse transfer community college partners before completing their associate degrees may obtain their two-year degree from their community college, provided that they complete the associate degree requirements while enrolled at Ferris State. Transfer students should submit the appropriate Reverse Transfer Release form to Ferris State University's Office of the Registrar once all courses have been completed to fulfill the associate degree requirement.
