•Missouri Core Transfer Curriculum (SB 997)

• Lower-division courses

• At least 42-credit hours curriculum

• Adopted by ALL 27 Missouri public Colleges and

Universities

• Common Missouri Transfer Course numbering (MOTR

numbers) and equivalency matrices

• Required to be in catalog indicating transfer guaranteed

• MOTR courses substitute directly and will fulfill any

requirements for the major or degree as would the receiving

institution’s own course

Missouri Core 42

3

•Statewide General Education Transferable

Curriculum

•Guarantee one-to-one transfer of General

Education courses at all 27 Missouri

Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs)

•Ensure statewide common college-level

competencies, skills, and knowledge that all

graduates possess

Purpose of Missouri Core 42

Looking at Core 42 at MSU

• 11 Equivalent MOTR course MSU does not have:• MOTR COMM 100, MOTR BIOL 100, MOTR GEOG 100, MOTR PHYS

001, MOTR PHYS 010, MOTR PHYS 100, MOTR PHYS 200, MOTR

MATH 110, MOTR WCIV 101, MOTR WCIV 102

• Give GEC code or create equivalent courses

• For Natural Sciences MOTR BIO100, GEOG100, PHYS 001, PHYS100,

and PHYS 200 create separate lecture and lab numbers

• All courses have to have lectures 3.0 credits and lab 1.0 credit (if want

more out of MOTR make a recitation course that majors have to take but

not counted in CORE 42).

• 10 courses at MSU have to separate adding 10 more numbers

• Labs should still be concurrent or having had the lecture

• Lectures should be allowed to be taken alone

CORE 42 – MOTR Coures

• General Literature (ENG 282, LLT121,

ENG 289, LLT 180)

PROPOSE 25 MORE MSU EQUIVALENT COURSES = 70/102

Additional MOTR Courses we working on now?

11

CORE 42 Courses at MSU

12

• Students who do not complete either the Associate of

Arts or the CORE 42 shall receive credit at a

receiving institution for each MOTR course

completed at a sending institution.

• Students shall receive full credit for all MOTR

courses as prerequisites or requirements in the

major.

• Student with 12 or more transfer credits (excludes

FTNC students) shall complete the CORE 42 at the

receiving institution.

How is this different than the 42-Hour Block we currently have at MSU?

13

•SB 997 defines Native verses non-native student

Why 12 credits?

14

•MDHE – Rusty Monhollon said:

“Our (MDHE) position at the moment is dual credit

will transfer like other coursework, but the students

will not be considered transfer students.”

•Student’s taking Dual Credit are currently enrolled

in high school so can’t be considered a transfer

student until enrolled in a college or university

Does the 12 credits include Dual Credit MOTR?

15

•Missouri State University is the #1 Transfer

Receiving State Institution

•40% MSU enrollment is from Transfer Students

•Every Fall at least 30% of our incoming

students are Transfer Students (anticipated

1,200-1,500 in Fall 2018)

Why is CORE 42 Important to Missouri State University?

• All Missouri IHE will adopt the curriculum for 2018-2019

• Must have MOTR course numbers next to all approve courses

• Section on CORE 42 with links to MDHE in Catalog

• Students that begin at MSU and take MOTR courses in Fall 2018 and

transfer out to another Missouri IHE will have guaranteed transfer of

all MOTR courses

• Students that begin at MSU in Spring 2019 with 12 or more credits

will be placed on CORE 42 (with option if MSU General Education

allows to take less coursework they can switch; whichever is less

coursework should be allowed)

• Non-native student that begin Fall 2018 have not taken MOTR

approved courses yet but if come in with 12 or more MOTR credits,

should be given option to change to CORE 42

When does Core 42 Begin?

Transfer Paths• Transfer with AA Degree

• completed all lower-division general education

requirements at the receiving institution.

• Transfer with 42-Hour Block

• completed all lower-division general education

requirements at a receiving institution.

• Transfer of courses

• receive credit at receiving institution for each

core course completed.

•February 28th – All Courses that fit approved MOTR

courses complete (MTH 135, ENG 221, & REL 100)

•March 31st – Under Revision MOTR courses

reviewed by Faculty Discipline Groups and approved

• End of additions for Fall 2018

•After March 31st any approved MOTR courses will be

added in Fall 2019 catalog.

What are our Next Steps?

28

• Admissions & Registrars’ offices coding students and

courses and testing in degree audit and making CORE

42 section for Transfer Students with 12 or more credits

• Academic Advising Center making CORE 42 worksheet

• Advisor forum on Thursday, March 8th 12:30-1:30 pm for

discussion on advising CORE 42 or MSU General

Education

What are out Next Steps?

29

Advising CORE 42 to Transfer Students

30

•Faculty and Departments propose new MOTR

• If 50% of Missouri IHE have course (13/26) – likely to get

MOTR

• If 33-50% of Missouri IHE have course (8-13/26) – MDHE

CCAC will consider and review (may not make Fall 2018)

• Below 33% of Missouri IHE (less than 8/26) – See if can fit

in a larger umbrella category of a MOTR to propose

• Complete MOTR Matrix with Course numbers, descriptions,

and credits and send to Josh Smith at

[email protected]

What are out Next Steps?

mailto:[email protected]

31

•The CORE 42 guidelines, framework, and

matrices are located in the complete CORE 42

document on the MDHE website at:

https://dhe.mo.gov/core42.php (updated weekly

until April 1, 2018; MDHE system for searching

will be up Fall 2018 and updates will be done

annually)

Where can I find the Core 42 information?

https://dhe.mo.gov/core42.php

32

•MDHE will require MSU to show how General

Education aligns with CORE 42

• Basic Competencies – easily align (we have 15 General

Goals that at least 9 align with CORE 42 competencies)

• Knowledge Areas – more complicated (MSU General

Education Humanities/Arts and Social/Behavioral

Sciences mixed together in areas)

General Education at MSU

33

•How will this affect MSU General Education Program?

•How will this affect General Education Courses without

MOTR numbers?

•Will be have CORE 42 and MSU General Education?

•Will MSU General Education reduce from 45 credits to

42 credits?

•Other Comments or Questions?

Complaints (draft)Transfer of Course Credit Not Accepted by Receiving Institution

If an institution of higher education does not accept course credit earned by a

student at another Missouri public institution of higher education, that institution

shall give written notice to the student and the other institution that the transfer of

the course credit is denied.

Written notification will not have to be given in the following circumstances:

1. Outside of Community College mission (upper division)

2. Remedial credits transferring to 4 year schools

3. Graduate course work (policy limited to undergraduate course work only)

Written notification must be sent within 10 working days of the denial of credit.

Appeals (draft)

1. Three levels of appeal

a. Two within the institution

b. Final appeal to commissioner of higher education

2. The student or institution (for whom the credit was denied) has ten

business days to file a complaint; begins on the receipt of

notification.

3. If not resolved to student’s satisfaction within 45 days, the

receiving institution justifies denial to commissioner.

4. The commissioner shall make the final determination.

5. Data will be collected on disputes and disposition.
