Pennsylvania's education department says a new Web site will make college transfers much easier.

Officials say students can use the Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Center to search for transferable courses and get detailed instructions on how to transfer.

Deputy education secretary Kathleen Shaw says students sometimes get frustrated when they find out that not all of their course credits will transfer from one school to another. She says that forces them to spend more time and money to complete their degrees.

Thirty-two schools are participating in the system, including Pennsylvania's 14 community colleges and state-owned universities.

The system was created under a 2006 state law establishing a statewide credit-transfer system.
