Edit Institution Landing Pages

An institution can create a customized, branded Transferology® landing page to help promote the college or university to prospective students. When navigating to Transferology through the institution's referral link or badge, students will see the customized page (assuming it is published) instead of the CollegeSource-branded homepage. This article explains how School Admins can edit the information displayed on the institution landing page.

School Admins can choose to make changes to the landing page while initially creating it, while it is published, or after it has been unpublished.

Institutions do not have to unpublish a landing page to make changes. Adjustments to the images on the landing page would automatically apply upon upload. Changes to alternate text would automatically apply upon entry. All other changes would apply to the published landing page once saved. The School Admin will need to exercise judgment in determining whether to make changes while the landing page is live or, if substantial changes need to be made, whether to unpublish the landing page and republish it once updates are complete.

Once a landing page has been unpublished, anyone visiting Transferology.com via the institution's referral link or badge will see Transferology's default homepage.

To edit the landing page:

  1. Go to the School Profile menu.
  2. Select Promote Your School.
  3. Select the Institution Template tab.

Users can also navigate to Promote Your School via the How to promote your school hyperlink within the Profile Preview.

  1. Users will be presented with a message asking for affirmation that the content of the landing page is not the responsibility of CollegeSource. Images, color, and text added to this page are the responsibility of the institution, state, or system to which the page belongs.
    • Mark the checkbox in front of I agree and select Agree to continue.

Make Edits Without Unpublishing the Landing Page

Follow the steps below to make changes to the institution landing page while it is live:

  1. Navigate to the field to be updated.
  2. Use the following documentation to make adjustments to existing color selections, information, images and alternate text, the SEO page description, and SEO page keywords:
  3. Select the Preview Changes button at the top of the template editor to see how adjustments appear on the landing page.
  4. Select Save Changes to apply changes.
      • A pop-up will appear noting that the user is about to make changes to the landing page for the institution. Doing so will make these changes visible to the public if the landing page has been published. Make sure to review changes via the Preview Changes button.
          • Select Yes to proceed with saving changes.
          • A confirmation will appear indicating that changes have been saved.
      • As noted above, adjustments to the images on the landing page will automatically apply upon upload. All other changes must be saved to apply.
  5. Repeat these steps until all fields are updated.

To publish the landing page, all fields in Color Selection, Information, and Image Uploads (with the exception of Alternate Text and the Thumbnail Image, for which there are established defaults) must be filled in. If the School Admin attempts to publish a template with missing information, an alert informs the user what fields need to be completed.
