School Lookup
Transferology® Lab's School Lookup feature provides users with a way to search for an institution's identification codes via:
- Keywords.
- Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) institution ID number.
- Federal Interagency Committee on Education (FICE) code.
Institutions that supply equivalencies from uAchieve® may wish to use this tool to verify a school's identification code when creating Institutional Reference (IREF) and Transfer Articulation (TA) tables. Using one of the recognized codes helps better ensure that transfer equivalencies will display to students in Transferology®. This article provides instructions for using the School Lookup feature to identify codes and to request a school be added to Transferology if none are available.
