Newly-admitted, prospective and current students at the University of Minnesota’s Twin Cities campus can now use Transferology to explore transfer options. Behind that public-facing database is a new, electronic Transfer Evaluation System (TES) that facilitates direct communication between Academic Support Resources, the Office of Admissions, and the departmental course evaluators. Since its launch on January 8, TES has helped students make timely decisions about their transfer options.
Between January 8 and January 23, 46 courses were submitted for evaluation through the new system and website. Courses have been evaluated for CCAPS, CLA, CBS, CSOM, CEHD, CFANS, and CSE. Of the submissions, 22 of them received decisions within 2 days or less. This is a much-improved turnaround time from the previous paper/email-based process.
With TES, students receive quick communications that include evaluation decisions, details about transferability, and a point of contact for further questions. As staff/faculty, if you have questions about TES, contact tes@umn.edu.
