Create State/System Landing Pages: Landing Page Images
States/systems can create a customized, branded Transferology® landing page to help promote colleges and universities to prospective students. When navigating to Transferology through the system's referral link or badge, students will see the customized page (assuming it is published) instead of the CollegeSource-branded homepage.
This article within Create State/System Landing Pages: An Overview Guide provides further information about customizing the images on the state/system landing page.
