# Student Experience

The Transfer Credit solution begins when students submit their transcripts through a web entry provided by your university. The process involves the following key tasks:

<details>

<summary>Submit Transcripts</summary>

Students upload their academic transcripts—containing course history, grades, and related data—through the institution’s secure online portal. These documents are stored for evaluation and further processing.

<details>

<summary>Review and Update Courses</summary>

The system automatically analyzes uploaded transcripts to extract course details such as titles, credit hours, and grades. It then compares this data against the institution’s course catalog to identify potential matches or equivalencies.

Additional courses can be manually added if no direct match is found.

#### **Course Classification**

The report displays courses to help align previously earned credits. Uploaded or extracted courses are classified into the following categories:

* **Matched:** Courses that have a direct equivalency with existing courses in the institution’s database.
* **New:** Courses that do not have a direct match but may represent a potential equivalency. These require further review or manual mapping.

This classification helps streamline the evaluation process and ensures accurate credit alignment during transfer or articulation reviews.
