A National Network for Learning Mobility

AI Transfer and Articulation Infrastructure Network (ATAIN) is a national network — anchored by CourseWise — that brings together institutions, systems, states, associations, and advocacy organizations to strengthen and modernize transfer infrastructure.

For too long, students have been asked to navigate a system where learning is not consistently recognized. Credits are lost. Time is extended. Costs increase.

ATAIN exists to change that.

So students aren’t penalized for moving — and learning counts wherever it happens.

What We Do

ATAIN works across:

Policy

addressing structural barriers to transfer

Practice

improving coordination and workflows across institutions

Infrastructure

building shared systems that support learning mobility

Together, this work ensures that:

Learning counts across institutions
Transfer decisions are transparent and consistent
Students can move forward without losing progress
How ATAIN is Different

A Network powered by Shared Infrastructure

ATAIN is not a single institution or standalone solution. It is a coordinated effort across the field —combining technology, research, collaboration, and policy alignment.

Anchored by CourseWise and informed by research from UC Berkeley’s CAHL Lab, ATAIN blends AI-powered tools with faculty and higher-ed leader expertise to scale transfer in ways that preserve rigor and reduce burden, and most importantly, better serve learners.
