Overview
Any user with an active Transferology® Lab account can access Transfer Equivalencies. To do so:
- Go to the Advising & Recruiting menu.
- Select Transfer Equivalencies.
The screenshot above reflects what a user from the fictional CollegeSource University (SH) would see when accessing this page. Within this page are the following fields:
Field | Explanation |
Transferring To | The name of the college or university with which the user is affiliated is populated by default. All schools with which that institution has established equivalencies will appear in the source school list. See Source School Name for further information. Users can change the institution's name in this field to see equivalencies from another subscribing institution. |
Transferring From | The name of the college or university a student would be transferring from. This field is blank by default; users can type in the name of an institution to quickly locate it within the list of source schools. |
Filter | A filter automatically shows source institutions from All Locations. This includes standardized exams, military courses and occupations, and some international locations. Users can filter by:
Select Clear filters under Transferring From to remove the All Location filter and view the inclusive list of equivalencies across all source institutions. |
Source School Name | All institutions with which that institution listed in the Transferring To field has established equivalencies. It should be noted that if an institution is supplying equivalencies from uAchieve® and has hidden all articulations from an institution, that school will not appear within the list. An institution may be listed multiple times if multiple Year/Term field entries are noted. |
Year/Terms | Identifies the year/terms that span across the set of equivalencies. All = All equivalencies are contained within one set of data. See effective dates of individual rules for further restrictions. Since (Month)(Year) = Equivalencies within this data set are effective no earlier than the month and year noted. See effective dates of individual rules for further restrictions. From (Month)(Year) through (Month)(Year) = Equivalencies within this set range between the time periods noted. See effective dates of individual rules for further restrictions. |
State | The state the source institution is located within. |

View Transfer Equivalencies
To view the equivalencies that a college or university has established in Transferology®:
- Within the Transferring To field, verify that the name of the college or university listed is the one whose equivalencies the user wishes to view.
- The name of the college or university with which the user is affiliated is populated by default. This means the user is viewing how courses from other institutions will transfer to that individual's school.
- To view how courses transfer to a different college or university, use the keyboard to remove the institution name from this field. Type in and select the applicable institution name.
- Locate the name of the transfer institution within the Source School Name field.
- Use the filter to adjust the location or enter the name of the transfer institution into the Transferring From field to narrow results.
- Reference the Year/Terms field to verify the set of data to be viewed.
- Select the View button to the right of the institution name.
The page will load with transfer equivalencies for the institution. By default, the first academic department within the Transferring To institution to which a course equivalency has been established is displayed. Using the filter and drop-downs, view equivalencies between courses, exams, and military credits from the Transferring From institution to the Transferring To school.
The Show course hour units on the transfer equivalencies? checkbox within the General Information tab of the School Profile controls the display of source course and home course hours. See Related Articles for further information.
- If equivalencies are supplied from uAchieve®, information entered into the Public Memo field within that application will display in the Note field in Transfer Equivalencies.
- IFlags and Alternate Courses will also appear.
- An Alternate Course is a secondary identity that a course carries to help it meet a requirement on an audit.
- IFlags (also called "IFlgs" or "institutional flags") are one-to-three character values within uAchieve that an institution chooses to represent course characteristics. Just like Alternate Courses, IFlags can be used to match coursework on a degree audit.
- IFlags and Alternate Courses will also appear.
- If equivalencies are supplied from TES®, information entered into the Public Note field within that application will display in the Note field in Transfer Equivalencies.
- User Added Courses will also appear.
- Course Tags will appear in the Alternate field.
