Sort and Filter Transfer Match Results

Within Transferology® Lab, college staff can view how courses, standardized exams, and military credits may transfer to or earn credit at participating colleges and universities. When students request information from a school, individuals with the appropriate user roles can view the coursework entered by the students and view Match results through Recruit Students and Advise Students. Similarly, all users of Transferology Lab (regardless of role) can create Transfer and Collaborative Transfer Bundles and view Match results.

Sometimes, the list of transfer schools within these results is extensive. This article will detail how to use Sort and Filter options to narrow Match results to specific needs/preferences.
