This session will share information on the diversity of Illinois transfer student populations and transfer student success rates. We will provide an overview of several statewide and systemwide transfer initiatives that have proven successful in transfer student recruitment and completion. With increasing restrictions on diversity initiatives in enrollment management, many Higher Ed professionals are seeking new ways to accomplish their goals. Increasing transfer enrollment is an excellent option for building a diverse student population!

Transferology is the only nationwide network that allows students, advisors, and parents to see how courses, exams, and military credits transfer to participating schools. Membership in the Transferology network gives institutions of higher education a nationwide presence for recruiting students and a venue for publicizing transfer articulation information. Tune in to see how Transferology can boost your institution’s transfer-friendliness.

Join our panelists as they discuss a range of transfer process and technology issues and respond live to user-submitted questions. Sub-topics may include real-world transfer situations, advice based on past experience, current and future challenges, limitations of technology, and how institutional policy impacts process.

Did you know that uAchieve (the most accurate degree audit on the market) includes sophisticated transfer capability? By storing your rules for course- and program-specific equivalencies in uAchieve, you can automate much of your transfer processing, alleviating time-consuming manual processes and ensuring consistent articulation results. The newest version (launched last spring) further extends the transfer component with direct access to TES, the Transfer Evaluation System from CollegeSource, so you can research equivalencies for unmatched courses, kick off approval workflows, and build new transfer rules without leaving uAchieve. This version also introduced a dynamic new planner that creates academic plans for students, taking transfer work into consideration to check off completed requirements in their declared programs. Join us to learn how CollegeSource can help you shepherd your transfer students on the most efficient path to graduation with all the credit they deserve.

USC, partnering with CollegeSource, developed a service to enable student prospects to self-report their completed and IP course data. The service provides validation of course data – properly formatted prefix and suffix – based on data found in existing CollegeSource data sets. The self-reported data is ready for consumption within most ERP Transfer Articulation systems. For the 2023 application cycle, our third year using the service, we received 3739 self-reported transcripts representing almost 40% of our applicant pool.

TES, the Transfer Evaluation System, is an essential transfer solution for researching course information to make evaluation decisions. With more than 150 million courses and 180,000 catalogs, come learn why thousands of institutions are already using TES and how it can benefit your institution. Bring your questions and ask us anything!

Join our panelists as they discuss a range of transfer agreement, pathway, and partnership topics and respond live to user-submitted questions. Sub-topics may include best practice recommendations, types of credit and applicability, and the importance of institutional partnerships.

The Higher Ed Policy Central is an easy-to-use policy database created as a means to support policy development and institutional benchmarking. Users can explore, compare, and analyze thousands of policies from thousands of institutions of higher education. Join us for a live demonstration of this one-of-a-kind policy portal.

This session provides an introduction to transfer credit, overviewing processes, and considerations for articulating and evaluating transfer credit and maintaining evaluation decisions. Institutions are encouraged to invite staff that supports transfer credit – such as those within the Registrar and Admissions offices – to attend. This session may also benefit faculty and administrators interested in learning more about the transfer process.
