Project Win-Win, a past IHEP initiative, supported degree audit work to retroactively award associate’s degrees to qualified college stop-outs and re-engage near-completers. This report, Searching for Our Lost Associate’s Degrees: Project Win-Win at the Finish Line, outlines the results of Project Win-Win’s national efforts to locate former students, no longer enrolled anywhere and never awarded a degree, whose records indicated that they were within striking distance of qualifying for associate’s degrees, and to award those degrees retroactively.
