  • Automating the ordering of transcripts.
  • Data extraction from transcripts.
  • Evaluation of data for transfer of credit.
  • Self-service variant for prospects to upload their own data for an informal estimate of credit transfer and costs.
• The new TPO will primarily focus on the fourth phase, which involves creating a self-service application for students and integrating systems on the backend.
