Transfer Entry in J1 Web

Use this page to view and manage transfer courses from other institutions.

The page holds two spreadsheets. The top one is Prospective Transfer Sections. It shows the courses that are available for transfer. They're not yet in the student's course history.

The bottom sheet is Student Section History. It shows the student's existing courses, including ones previously transferred. Transferred courses have a Record Type of either Transfer Summary or Transfer Detail.

In each spreadsheet's toolbar, you can use the Column Selector to select which columns to display.

On this page you import prospective transfer courses and then process the transfer to save them to the student's course history. You can also run the advising worksheet report to see how the courses will contribute to a particular program.
