The Arizona Board of Regents launched a set of online tools to help the state’s high school students plan for college.
The website, www.AZ Transfer.com, provides students with information about state college admissions requirements, how to obtain college credit while in high school and how to transfer from a community college to a university.
Students can have a report tailored to them after answering a couple of questions about which school they would like to attend and their intended area of study.
The tools are intended to help high school students plan for college and  boost the number of high school graduates going on to college.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, about 45 percent of Arizona’s high school seniors pursue a college degree. This is the lowest rate among the 50 states.
Current college students who are interested in transferring to another Arizona school can reference the course equivalency guide to see which course credits can transfer.
The website, funded by a grant from the Lumina Foundation for Education, also features resources for faculty members and student advisors at high schools and institutions of higher learning.
