WAICU Colleges have strategically partnered with CollegeSource to join the Transferology network, harnessing its array of features to enhance the transfer experience for both students and staff. Through Transferology, students gain access to a user-friendly interface where they can input their courses, exams, and military occupations to view how those credits transfer to WAICU member Colleges instantly. Students can also explore pre-established pathways that streamline their academic journey toward degree completion and request information and advising support.

For staff, Transferology offers tools for efficient course articulation, evaluating transfer credits through TES, and ensuring accuracy in the transfer process. By leveraging these features, WAICU Colleges not only prioritize student success but also benefit from being members through access to Transferology’s robust national network, which fosters collaboration and data-driven decision-making among member institutions.

Core Education, a public benefit corporation, is WAICU’s exclusive partner for business model transformation and a long-term, mission-critical operating partner of colleges and universities. The Core-WAICU agreement allows WAICU-member institutions to enhance their business models through a unique operating partnership designed to leverage economies of scale to improve revenue, technology, and operating effectiveness. Core has established a market-leading platform of transformative business model solutions, including revenue growth and diversification, digital campus transformation, managed technology services, workflow optimization, institutional research, financial planning and modeling, and capital strategies.

Core believes transformation isn’t a series of fragmented projects. Rather, transformation takes place within a comprehensive institutional operating architecture. The modern institution comprises a set of interconnected “engines” that convert mission into motion, vision into velocity, and capacity into sustained performance. Core helps schools identify where to start and how to connect transformation efforts within each engine to the greater architecture.  Start anywhere and evolve.
