Please share the following message with your department.
I am writing to remind you of an existing resource and share a new one – both are supposed to help with advising regarding transfer credit evaluation.
The first resource that has been around since 2015 is
markings, post-it notes, and most importantly, course equivalency worksheets of
reviewed transcripts that are available in Perceptive Content (formerly
ImageNow). This resource provides answers to the following questions frequently
asked by students:
- What courses did I receive credit for?
- Why is there a delay of my received transcript
evaluation?
- Who is my transcript evaluator should I want to ask
them directly about my transcript evaluation?
The information above is also accessible in Banner, but access varies and navigation to those Banner tables may be discouraging to some. Therefore, we transcript evaluators take the extra mile to make markings, post-it notes, and equivalency worksheets available in one place for you. If you have not taken advantage of this resource, I encourage you to do so.
The new resource I would like to share with you is the Course Equivalency Spreadsheet. We used to have a web-based course equivalency database through Transfer Evaluation System (TES) of CollegeSource, but it has not been updated for a while and has been taken down. The new Course Equivalency Spreadsheet is exported from Banner monthly and contains approved course equivalencies from incoming transcripts. New equivalencies are added on a continuous basis as transcripts come in. To access the spreadsheet, please click HERE. To view equivalencies of one particular institution, filter the INSTITUTION column. Please note one course may be repeated several times because it is attributed to different categories.
If you have any questions about these resources, please let me know.
