Office Info

Campuses are asked to review the functionality of the tool and provide testing results to the Transfer and Articulation Office.  As part of campus-level testing, campuses will be asked to conduct updates to records within their SIS or related system to ensure that current, accurate information is included in the records. Please refer to guidance provided during group meetings or contact us for assistance. Technical and data entry assistance is available.
