After fears of closure, the National Institute on Student Transfer (NISTS) has secured a new home at the University of South Carolina. The move preserves a national repository and research center focused on transfer‑student policy and outcomes. NISTS serves as a clearinghouse for transfer articulation agreements, student mobility research and policy tools; its relocation will maintain continuity for state policymakers and institutions seeking to streamline credit transfer and improve degree completion for transfer students. The transfer sector faces heightened attention as states and institutions pursue enrollment recovery strategies; keeping NISTS operational provides a centralized evidence base for reform and for scaling promising transfer practices.
