When a transfer is cheaper than starting over

Two documents can share a topic and still refuse to be averaged. When a transfer is cheaper than starting over keeps 12 (credit hours that usually count as full-time undergraduate study under US federal student aid, in the system built from the Higher Education Act of 1965) from the US Department of Education, Washington, 1965, in its own column. The Tool-Lifes links are the second column. Read them across, not as a blended score.

Column one is the US Department of Education in 1965: 12 means credit hours that usually count as full-time undergraduate study under US federal student aid, in the system built from the Higher Education Act of 1965, and the dateline is Washington. Column two is the linked Tool-Lifes page. When a transfer is cheaper than starting over forbids adding the columns together. A reader who averages them has invented a third document that nobody published.

Two columns inside When a transfer is cheaper than starting over

Draw two columns. The left one cites the US Department of Education, Washington, 1965, and 12 as credit hours that usually count as full-time undergraduate study under US federal student aid, in the system built from the Higher Education Act of 1965.

Can When a transfer is cheaper than starting over replace the linked article?

No. The links open Tool-Lifes pages that already exist. When a transfer is cheaper than starting over only shows how to hold the 1965 figure of 12 while you read them.

What four items should I cite?

Cite the US Department of Education, Washington, 1965, and the unit credit hours that usually count as full-time undergraduate study under US federal student aid, in the system built from the Higher Education Act of 1965. If one of the four is missing from your notes, do not quote 12 yet.
