The Transferology trail: The perfect mix for success

A new trail

Join Park Ranger Melissa Brooks on Wednesday, June 24, from 1:30 to 2:15 p.m. at “Claim Your Campsite: What’s Next for Transferology Landing Pages.” This session will provide the path to a summit where institution landing pages are maximized.

Back to basics

Join Park Ranger Aleta Carlberg at the Transferology Administrator Certification pre-conference session on Monday, June 22, from 1 to 3 p.m., where attendees will learn how to use and leverage the tools within the Transferology Lab. This extended session will cover key components and advanced features, as well as strategies for implementation and training others. The track will continue with various required sessions during the week, culminating in certification by the end of the conference.

New and returning campers can start their hike through Transferology at “Transferology 101: Welcome to Camp” on Tuesday, June 23, from 8:30 to 9:15 a.m. Park Ranger Scott Johns will map out the path ahead, starting with the student’s experience in Transferology, and progressing to the Transferology Lab. This introduction to camp will lay a strong foundation for the future.

Park Rangers Debbie Brunner and Scott will help Transferology Lab users navigate their path at “Back to Base Camp: A Transferology Lab Refresher for School Administrators” on Wednesday, June 24, from 2:30 to 3:15 p.m. This session will review core tools, recent updates, and tips on helping students achieve transfer success through Transferology.

Maintain your camp

A hike isn’t complete without trail mix – Transferology’s includes glossary messages, program setup, and requirement categories. Park Rangers Laura Butchko and Debbie will review how to strengthen these at “Maintaining Your Campsite in Transferology” on Thursday, June 25, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. This session will highlight the importance of these features and how they can impact a student’s path in Transferology.

The inclusive summit

A successful hike is accessible and inclusive, and so is Transferology. Join Park Rangers Daniel Natividad-Alvarez and Melissa at “Accessibility Trail Mix: S’more Than Just Compliance” on Tuesday, June 23, from 8:30 to 9:15 a.m. This session will highlight what we provide, what our users control, and how small choices can create an inclusive experience for all hikers.

Learn how students navigate the trail through Transferology with Park Ranger Don at “Transferology Trailblazer’s Checklist” on Thursday, June 25, from 8:30 to 9:15 a.m. This session will provide a behind-the-scenes look at how students use Transferology, the trends and searches, and how we are keeping the students, site, and data safe.
