Set Up the Transferology School Profile

This article provides an overview of the School Profile in Transferology®. CollegeSource will fill out this profile for each institution upon onboarding. School Admins can review this document to understand the contents of the School Profile before reviewing and adjusting information or to assist in updating the profile at a later point.

What Is a School Profile?

The School Profile is where colleges and universities can house and share information about the institution with students researching transfer options. Information within the profile can help students learn about the institution’s size, the cost of attendance, how to apply, etc.

When students select an institution to view how courses transfer, a snapshot of the institution’s profile, with the following information, will display. A similar profile appears to users in Transferology Lab®.
