Edit State/System Landing Pages: Add and Remove Participating Institutions and URLs

States/systems can create a customized, branded Transferology® landing page to help promote colleges and universities to prospective students. When navigating to Transferology through the system's referral link or badge, students will see the customized page (assuming it is published) instead of the CollegeSource-branded homepage.

States and systems must work with CollegeSource to collaboratively create the initial landing page. Once the landing page is in place, it will be maintained by users at the participating institutions with the State Coordinator role in the Lab, and any other State Coordinators given access to edit the page. This article within Edit State/System Landing Pages: An Overview Guide (see Related Articles) explains how State Coordinators can adjust the state/system referral code, introduction, description, and credit awards.

Before making changes to the landing page, please see Edit State/System Landing Pages: An Overview Guide (Related Articles). State Coordinators will need to determine whether to make changes to the landing page in its published or unpublished state. This article assumes that, if needed, the landing page has already been unpublished and will be republished afterward once changes are complete.
