Enhancing Transfer Clarity for Students through Transferology Integration

This initiative aims to improve transfer processes for students using Transferology, a tool designed to enhance course transferability understanding. Strategies include providing clear guidelines for students, faculty training, and effective communication among academic advisors and high school counselors. We will create easy-to-use resources such as checklists, flyers, and workshops. Emphasizing consistent language, especially regarding MnTC Goal Area 8, is crucial for reducing confusion and ensuring a smooth transition for students from various institutions.
