What Is a School Profile?

Users can select the hyperlinked Program name to be taken to a page which will display further information about the Program. If the institution supplies degree audits to Transferology, users can select the green See how your courses might count towards this program button to run an audit. If the institution does not supply degree audits, this button will be grayed-out.

Create the School Profile
The institution profiles seen by students in Transferology® and staff within Transferology Lab® are setup within the Profile Preview tab of the Lab. When a user logs into Transferology Lab, this page loads by default but can also be accessed through the School Profile menu (School Profile > School Management). Towards the bottom left of the page, the dates that the School Profile and the institution's equivalencies were last updated are noted.
CollegeSource will fill out this profile for each institution upon onboarding. The institution will be asked to review the profile and make any needed changes. Institutions using T-Rex to supply transfer rules from PeopleSoft will see one additional tab, called "API Access", across the top of the profile.
