The Problem

Transferring from community college to a university presents several challenges.

• Credits may not transfer as expected.
• Transfer policies and agreements can be difficult to locate and understand.
• Advisors often have limited availability.
• Result: Students may spend money and time on classes that do not count toward their degree.

The Solution

Transfer Tracker is your 24/7 Intelligent Academic GPS. It replaces guesswork with data-driven planning, ensuring every credit moves you closer to your dream university.

"I built this because I lived the struggle. I wanted to stop guessing and start planning." — Natneal B.
