Abstract	Since June 2019, the Articulation of Credit Transfer project (ACT) has focused on streamlining the information, advising, and administrative processes concerning how credits from one City University of New York (CUNY) institution transfer to another CUNY institution. This work addresses a critical challenge at CUNY, and indeed, across American higher education. When students transfer from one college to another, they frequently are unable to count their previously earned credits toward degree requirements at their new institution, jeopardizing their ability to earn that degree. This report describes one of the key innovations of the ACT project: instituting a daily archive of Degree Works data for students transferring between CUNY institutions participating in the project. Creating this archive has allowed the project team and other analysts to determine changes in how these students' transferred courses counted toward their degree programs at their new institution. This report contextualizes and explains the degree audit archiving effort and how the ACT team has used the resulting data. (ERIC).
