Delete a Source Department Alias within Check Transfer Rules
Check Transfer Rules provides institutions a means to review the alignment of department names used in transfer rules with those in the Source School's TES® catalogs. When a Match percentage is less than 100%, this means that an institution's rules contain departments that are not found within the Source School's catalog. The referenced article explains that there are various reasons this could occur. Institutions can create Source Department Aliases to map the departments used in the rules to the ones within TES to achieve Match results.
Read below for an explanation of how to delete Source Department Aliases. Users are required to have the Transfer Specialist role to perform this action.
