Transfer Credit Evaluation and Articulation System

An enterprise-level Transfer Credit Articulation Engine that will automate, centralize, and scale the University's transfer credit evaluation process. The solution must replace fragmented and repetitive manual activities with a rules-first decision engine that produces consistent, explainable, and auditable transfer credit outcomes.
- The system must automatically evaluate structured academic data against institutionally approved articulation tables, equivalency rules, and transfer credit policies. All official credit determinations must be based on rules approved by authorized University personnel and must be reproducible and auditable.
- Institutional Objectives:
• Provide admitted and prospective students with earlier, clearer, and more consistent information about how prior coursework applies at Framingham State University.
• Reduce repetitive manual review while preserving appropriate faculty and administrative authority over equivalency decisions.
• Apply institutional transfer policies consistently across academic programs.
• Capture approved decisions as reusable rules and progressively increase automated articulation coverage.
• Maintain a complete, searchable, and auditable record of articulation rules, exceptions, approvals, and changes.
• Integrate transfer evaluation decisions with Banner without duplicate data entry.
