Update and Confirm Tuition Descriptions

This article provides instructions for updating and confirming Tuition Descriptions in the Profile Preview tab of the Transferology® Lab.

School Administrators set up optional Tuition Descriptions as part of the Transferology® onboarding process. If these values have not already been added to the profile, see Related Articles for further instructions.

Institutions can add three additional tuition values to the School Profile to help students better understand the cost of attending the college or university:

Average Grants/Scholarships

Students will see headings for provided values when searching for matches in Transferology. Where information is not provided, the heading will be absent.

Three alerts show that the tuition description values are expiring in 30 days.

To confirm the description:

Mark the checkbox to the right of the confirmation message.

This message explains that the tuition description will expire in x number of days and will no longer display in Transferology unless renewed.

Callout highlights the checkbox to the right of a message which says that this information will expire in 30 days and no longer display in Transferology. Check this box and press save to renew for another year.

If the description has already expired, the message will read, "This information is expired and no longer displays in Transferology, check this box and press save to renew for another year."

Use the keyboard to adjust the values if needed.
Select Save.

The Tuition Description will display within Transferology for another year. Repeat these steps for each description that needs confirmation.
