Linked Schools
The Linked School tab provides a detailed list of linked schools and their link status, filtering functionalities, and the ability to export to Microsoft Excel.
Column/Icon | Screenshot | Description |
School Name | +/- |
Lists the school name, first year term-to-last year term (optional), and corresponding FYT/LYT code (optional) Some schools Name fields contain a brown alert triangle. This icon alerts the Transfer Specialist that the school name provided for this code does not match Transferology records via tooltip message: |
State | |
Two-letter state abbreviation where the school resides (In this screenshot, the state is listed as "SE" for Standardized Exam) |
Your Code | |
Schools identification codes Two codes are listed for the school according to the following format: ##/######
The 4- to 6-digit number after the forward slash is the source school's IDNOTE: Two schools may NOT be mapped to the same ID. |
Link Status |
→ Primary Secondary Alias Hidden |
Categorizes the status of the linked school as Linked (populate the Linked Schools tab) or Unlinked (populate the Unknown Schools tab). Four types of links exist in Transferology: Primary link Transferology automatically made the linkage for the user Identifies the FICE, IPEDS, ACT, or ATP code that identifies a school within Transferology Secondary link Identifies an alternate FICE, IPEDS, ACT, or ATP code that identifies a school within Transferology. A Secondary linkage is typically used where a school has both a new and an old code. (For example, several Ohio schools have two FICE codes.) Alias link The school sets the linkage association themselves on the Unknown School tab Identifies a link or association that a school has creates so that an Unknown School can be appropriately mapped and known. This occurs when a school's source_id (or sending school in TES) is not found or is different than the primary and secondary source_id of the school in Transferology. Sometimes schools use non-standard values for some or all of their source_id values; they need to set these up for their equivalencies to be loaded into Transferology. Hidden link Identifies that a schools should be ignored within Transferology. A Hidden linkage is different than an Unknown School because a school is self-identifying as a test school or similar and should not appear in Transferology. Hidden links, therefore, will not show up in equivalency data. (For example, a Hidden link could also be used for an academic portfolio.) |
