The Transfer Credit solution requires certain information, such as a list of majors and curricula, to be pre-loaded into the system. This data can be easily uploaded using properly formatted CSV files. The following sections provide details about creating these CSV files.
With the Major Configuration option, university administrators can upload and maintain the List of Majors and Major’s Curricula through CSV files.
A CSV file for a list of majors must contain the following fields. Each row in this file represents one major.
Major Title: Name or title of the program major.

Duration (Years): Number of years that the major lasts on average.
Term Type: How the major’s curricula is organized, by semester, year or quarter.
Average Number of Credits per Term: How many credits on average students take per term. This information allows the solution to calculate the Average Timing required to finish the major.

The solution generates an unofficial transfer evaluation comparing the courses extracted from the prospect transfer student with the course equivalencies of your university. With the Course Equivalencies Configuration option, university administrators can upload the Course Equivalency Information through CSV files.
