Within the framework of the SCT project carried out by the Council of Rectors, a manual was launched for institutions that are in the process of joining this system.

Fernanda Kri, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs at the University of Santiago, presented the manual "System of Transferable Academic Credits." This manual is part of the project "Development of a program for consolidating the implementation of the Transferable Credit System in Higher Education institutions belonging to the Council of Rectors" and is coordinated by the University of Santiago.

At the meeting, held in the Enrique Froemel auditorium of the university and led by its rector and executive vice president of CRUCH, Juan Manuel Zolezzi, the contents of the manual were presented and then the scope of this project was discussed, in a round table made up of María José Lemaitre, executive director of the University Center for Development and Diana Veneros, director of performance agreements for curricular harmonization of the Ministry of Education (MINEDUC).

The manual contains guidelines for applying the SCT curriculum innovation model, its inclusion in other models that the educational institutions are generating, suggestions for monitoring the implementation of the SCT, and guidelines for student mobility, among other topics.

“All CRUCH universities are committed, within their means and at varying stages of progress. We expect to have approximately 601 three-year technical programs (TP3T) offered by CRUCH with transferable credits by March 2014, and to reach as close as possible to 1001 TP3T during the year,” says Fernanda Kri, Vice-Rector of Usach, who adds that “this Manual should be seen as a guide developed from successful experiences in curricular innovation and system implementation, which have been systematized to facilitate the development of these processes in other higher education institutions that are less advanced in these areas.”.
