Six HBCUs launched a course-sharing partnership designed to let students take classes across institutions without transferring and losing progress toward their degrees. The initiative aims to increase access to classes and reduce friction that often delays degree completion when course schedules or niche offerings don’t align across campuses. The program is structured around maintaining degree progress while enabling mobility for needed credits, which may offer a targeted student success lever for institutions serving high proportions of first-generation and financially constrained learners. If scaled, course-sharing arrangements can reduce the “credit loss” risk and address schedule bottlenecks—particularly in programs where cohort sequencing and limited course rotations extend time to graduation.
