The purpose of the Transfer Institution Catalog Entry Form is to allow for the creation and maintenance of the sending institution's catalog information. The key to the page is the transfer institution code which is required and an optional key of degree program code. Degree program codes must be established on the Program Definition Rules (SMAPRLE) page before being used in the Transfer Articulation module. The use of a degree program allows an institution to build transfer course equivalencies based on the degree program which the student has specified.
For example, if PSYC 400 is equivalent to PSYC 401 under a Nursing Program then the appropriate program codes would be used to build these course equivalencies. If ENGL 101 is equivalent to ENGL 50 under all programs, then no program code would be used to build its course equivalency.
This page uses course description, course attribute, and default institution information. You can also to copy course records from the default institution that have been defined for a specific program.
All courses are built with an effective term so they can be adjusted over time as the sending institution's catalog changes. Conversion of credit hours can also be performed based on the calendar type of the sending institution. A minimum acceptable grade can also be specified for each transfer course.
The institution must exist on both the Source Background Institution Validation (STVSBGI) page and the Transfer Articulation Institution (SOABGTA) page.
