A Simplified Transfer Process using TES + Transferology
Building, maintaining, and publicizing equivalencies has never been easier with TES and Transferology. Only CollegeSource’s TES, the Transfer Evaluation System, and Transferology, the nationwide student network, are backed by a database of more than 150 million course descriptions, 180,000 catalogs, and 25 million user-created equivalencies. TES is the #1 tool used to research, evaluate, route, and track course data to make transfer decisions. Transferology is a nationwide network for students to see how dual credit, AP and other exams, and military experiences will transfer while providing insights and reports in the staff Lab so institutions can build equivalencies based on actual student needs and usage. Come see why millions of students are using Transferology and why institutions that have TES say they can’t live without it.

Higher Education AI Response Framework
ChatGPT has created a lot of confusion, fear, and also excitement among higher education leaders, faculty members and students. The immediate reaction from the campus community has been a cautious and in some cases punitive approach: preventing plagiarism by adopting plagiarism detection tools. While this approach can be effective at keeping professors in control and preventing student plagiarism, this approach will prevent us from identifying, exploring and utilizing the features and functions of machine learning tools for increasing operational efficiency and pedagogical creativity. This conversation will focus on challenges, adoption techniques, and opportunities within a philosophical, pedagogical, technical, research and policy/regulation framework.
