2 An Opportunity To improve and simplify the transfer credit articulation process To provide consistency in current and future articulated transfer courses To decrease the number of course substitutions and exceptions To help the transfer student seamlessly articulate incoming courses

3 Transfer Credit Project Goals Project Goal: To convert historical transfer credit data for all enrolled transfer students from 2000 to current date. Project Goal: To convert articulated rules from the top 30 feeder schools. Project Goal: To utilize the current Course Exception/Substitution Workflow to create a workflow process for reviewing transfer credit courses. Project Goal: To create new transfer credit coding within Campus Solutions that will enable transfer credit courses to seamlessly meet prerequisite checks, articulate non direct equivalent courses towards a students degree audit, while decreasing the number of course substitutions and exceptions.
