Abstract	More states are considering what kinds of policies or processes can be put in place to successfully improve the degree attainment of their postsecondary students, and one popular option is a reverse transfer policy. Reverse transfer policies usually involve authorizing community colleges to award a degree or certificate to students that have transferred away from the institution to a university/baccalaureate granting institution if they have since met the requirements for the degree. In this study, the researcher interviewed staff members within the Hawaiian higher education system to determine what elements contributed to or influenced the successful implementation of a reverse transfer policy. Five individuals who participated in the implementation committee were interviewed and the implementation process was presented as a case study with implications for other states introducing similar policies discussed. Findings included the presence of strong leadership; the consideration of implications for policy, perception, and personnel; and communication and involvement of staff as important aspects influencing the implementation process.
