"This is an incredible opportunity, after 20 years I can go back and get my degree and become a teacher," she said. "I don't know what I'm getting myself into with two kids, but I can go to school when they are in class during the day and at night when their dad gets home."

Carie Huffman, 37-year-old stay-at-home mom

"My journey to become a college graduate was 20 years in the making. I realized after the many years and setbacks in the workforce, my experience alone would not get me the position I wanted or keep my career moving forward."

Khari Gore, 41-year-old recent graduate who went back to college after 20 years

"From the onset, this system (SCTrac) has really assisted transfer students in bringing credits from former institutions. Our AcademyOne administrator has been able to help every student I have taken to see her. One student actually walked away with 15 more credits than were originally granted. The Equivalency Synchronizer makes the system fast, easy to navigate and effective."

Dr. Barbara Chesler Buckner, Associate Provost for Assessment and Accreditation

"The pursuit of a college degree has grown more complicated due to the nature of our increasingly mobile and multi-tasking society. More and more, students are amassing credits from multiple colleges that are difficult to transfer or retain. Pennsylvania’s College Credit Transfer System (PATrac) saves time and money by allowing students to take their hard-earned credits wherever they go."

Dr. Gerald Zahorchak, Former Secretary Pennsylvania Department of Education
