ATF DASHBOARD REVIEW

COURSE PREFIXES PROVIDING TOOLS TO SUPPORT TRANSFER Review the lists of college and university prefixes on the ATF Dashboard Confirm that each prefix is still correct. Facilitators: record any proposed changes in the meeting report.

COURSE EQUIVALENCY GUIDE PROVIDING TOOLS TO SUPPORT TRANSFER From the ATF Dashboard, under the list of College Course Prefixes, review each institution’s CEG page by prefix. Scan the courses listed to confirm that nothing is missing. If courses are not listed, faculty should work with their Institutional Facilitators to have the courses submitted through ACETS for evaluation. Facilitators: record any discrepancies in the meeting report.

COMMON COURSE MATRICES PROVIDING TOOLS TO SUPPORT TRANSFER Review the Matrices listed on the ATF Dashboard Are the course listed on the Common Courses section of the matrix required for the university degrees listed above? If not, should they be re-categorized as Electives? The Matrix Change Report lists any changes which were approved in the past year. Using AZTransfer.com, go through the Tools to view the appropriate Major Guide for the student-view of this information.

EXAMS FOR CREDIT PROVIDING TOOLS TO SUPPORT TRANSFER The Exam Equivalency Guide holds data for AP, Cambridge International Exams, CLEP, DSST, and IB. Please review data if there are exams relevant to your area. The goal is to identify common cut score equivalencies across all of our institutions. Some exams may have changed during the past academic year. If there are changed relevant to your discipline, these will be noted within the matrix in red. University faculty have determined whether or not this exam warrants new course equivalencies at their institutions. Facilitators: use the ATF Administrator Login to record proposed changes during the meeting.
