TES Mode is new to uAchieve 5.0! At this presentation, attendees will learn how TES Mode can speed up the transfer evaluation process by routing evaluation tasks to the TES Evaluation Tracker workflow and building rules with pre-populated data from TES in uAchieve. Configurations within uAchieve TES Mode and TES, The Transfer Evaluation System, will also be addressed. A demo will be provided, showcasing how to look up course descriptions and build rules directly in uAchieve, and illustrating the lifecycle of an evaluation request initiated via TES Mode.

With the majority of students bringing in some sort of transfer credit these days, there is often a need for more complex transfer table building in uAchieve. This session will provide an overview of several advanced transfer articulation rule builds, prior learning assessment builds, as well as ways to set-up the various TA grade tables to further facilitate more complex transfer situations.

While producing degree audits remains the primary function of uAchieve, Virginia Tech is working to leverage the product in a number of other ways. This presentation is an overview of some how we are using uAchieve to enhance our change of major processes, creating 'advising checklists', creating a 'Minor Matcher', an automated error email for encoders, and other tools used by specific users.

Interested in using uAchieve, TES and Transferology for electronic transfer guides? Join the University of Minnesota Twin Cities for a dynamic, hands on tutorial of how these three tools have changed our transfer game! By integrating TES, uAchieve and Transferology, we are able to reach more transfer students with enhanced information. _x000D_ _x000D_ Having a solid base knowledge of all three tools will allow the audience to jump in and begin creating their own guides.

This session will cover encoding best practices for basic course conversions using the Convert Table and more advanced course conversions using the String Table. We’ll start with an overview of the Convert Table before expanding into the String Table to handle lecture/lab course conversions and upper division to lower division (and vice versa) course conversions.

Have you ever wanted to make a few changes to how the audit looks? Have you ever wanted to redesign one from scratch completely? In this session, we'll cover how to make visual changes to the uAchieve audit and plan PDF templates, how to get them to show up in Self-Service for your campus to use, and how to create backups of the original templates for troubleshooting.

Customizing Self-Service can be a great way to meet your schools' specific needs, but can greatly slow down future upgrades. In this session we will show you how to avoid some of those pitfalls by using our recommended Java hooks when making your customizations.

See what the functional end-user data says about TES and get answers to some big questions. Which functions are being utilized most (and least) frequently? Are there predictable patterns of behavior, and have those patterns changed over time? Why do certain underutilized functions continue to be a part of the tool set?

Are you interested in storing equivalencies in TES but don't know where to start? In this session, we will walk through the process of creating equivalencies in TES. We will explore some of the tools that TES offers to facilitate the identification of potential equivalencies, as well as how to store the results of evaluations. This session will demonstrate multiple ways to document the results of transfer articulation decisions, and potentially reevaluation of previous decisions.

The panel will be comprised of individuals who encode their graduate programs in uAchieve and are in a position to provide best practices and tips/tricks for the process.

When students are given a choice among areas, but the areas must be in a single sub-requirement, course grouping in uAchieve must be employed. This session will cover how to encode single, multiple, and self-defining groups.

Whether you are viewing TES for the first time, assessing which areas of TES you may be underutilizing, or just trying to recapture the big picture, this session is for you. We will review the major silos of functionality: researching curricula, managing the evaluation workflow, establishing and maintaining equivalencies, and serving as the TES system administrator. Special attention will be paid to the "why" of each area, underlying design concepts, and TES-specific terminology.

What happens to equivalencies after they are created? Does your institution review equivalencies annually, every few years, or do you take a set-it-and-forget-it approach to equivalency management? This session will touch upon the tools available in TES to help keep your equivalencies healthy, up-to-date, and relevant: including migrating user-added courses, migrating course tags and outlines, and user maintenance. Come learn how to stay on top of your data and keep your TES implementation from becoming a nightmare!

TES user rights underwent a significant change in June of 2022. One year later, we will review each user right and how it could be applied at your institution. Whether you want staff only to be able to access course descriptions and stored equivalencies or if you want them to implement the Evaluation Tracker, this session will explore the possible user-right profiles you could assign your staff.

California Baptist University presents an overview of how group reports can enhance a user’s experience in TES/Transferology. We recreated the university’s articulation agreements using group reports accessible in the TES Public View. We used HTML and CSS coding to make these resources more user-friendly, such as adding a back-to-top button and external links to Transferology and CBU academic catalog. These resources are now used by CBU admissions, advising, and registrar staff, as well as current/prospective students.

Join the University of Arizona Global Campus (UAGC) on our journey into strategically reviewing the tools and systems used to ensure consistent and equitable transfer of credit. This journey reiterated our need for one main equivalency database and the services TES provide currently meet this need.
