Transferology Lab 1.9.6 Product Updates

Transferology® Lab 1.9.6 was released on July 16, 2024. Below is a summary of the additions and improvements to this version.

In this article:

Improvements to the process for assigning tuition and fee values into categories will keep data better up to date and allow for the monitoring of tuition changes over time.
The maximum length of the notes users can select when reviewing Match results has been expanded to 1,108 characters to match the maximum length of the Public Note field in TES.
Updates to third-party libraries (Bootstrap, Hibernate, and Spring).

Advise Students and Recruit Students

The Information Request Email contact will receive a monthly email alerting the institution to any student information requests submitted within the previous month that have not been archived.
Additionally, within Advise Students, export options now appear in a pop-up modal like within Recruit Students. Users can enter/change the file name, select whether to export filtered or all results, and choose a file type (CSV or JSON).

Functionality within this page has been streamlined to have a clearer focus on helping Transfer Specialists see how Match results can be improved. Users can see the percentage of courses within each transfer institution’s most recent catalog edition with a current equivalency. Users can review this data at the Department level and send unevaluated courses for review via TES Mode.

Users can now update the title of a manually added course within a bundle.
Replacement and Collaborative Replacement Bundles can now be exported to a .CSV or .JSON file.

Institutions and states/systems can add a landing page description and keywords to help students and other stakeholders find the Transferology landing page when querying Google and other search engines.
Thumbnail images can be added to landing pages.
Alt text can be added to landing pages' logo, header, and thumbnail images. Screen readers use this text to describe images to users.
Within institution landing pages, schools can configure the border color for infographics.

New fields have been added to Profile Preview to allow institutions to share the school’s average grant/scholarship amount and graduate school costs with students via the School Profile. Institutions can also display an additional tuition type (such as a technology fee) through a customized field.

When submitting a course-level or department-wide change, users can select the back button to return to the previous page instead of starting over.
Requests marked as resolved in error can be returned to active status.
When viewing evaluations that resulted in equivalencies, users can see the Begin Date, End Date, and Public Note fields from TES. A new configuration within the General Information tab of School Management called Role who can view Private Notes will control what Lab users can see the TES Private Note.
To help better facilitate the assignment of evaluation tasks and to align with TES, evaluator job titles from the User Management page in TES will appear to the right of the user’s name within the Assign these requests to drop down in the Lab.
