What does the UMD campus do to promote Transferology to students,
faculty and staff?

out to prospective students and families when they attend our
on-campus visit programs.

Promoting to Staff/Faculty
Beta-TestingUniversity of Minnesota Duluth was one of the institutions that beta-tested Transferology. This
enabled us to
1) familiarize our campus with the differences between u.Select and Transferology
2) Explain Transferology to administration and staff who had not previously used u.Select
What Beta-Testing Taught Me
Be a resource and expert for your campus
Be able to provide training and support to staff, faculty, and student employees
Encouraging Account Creation
Faculty and staff are encouraged to
request the creation of a Transferology
Lab account through a
Google request form
Give Updates
Transferology Lab users receive an update about each new release of
Transferology, and an explanation of its new functions & features. This was done through e-mail; we are switching over to
a Google group.
