• Evaluate previously earned course credit and determine ERAU course equivalencies.

• Generate detailed progress-toward-degree reports through the EAB Transfer Portal.

• Build and maintain course equivalency rules within the Student Information System.

• Maintain Student Information System tables and review expired course equivalency rules for accuracy.

• Partner with Admissions to support Transfer Portal processes and ensure academic policies and course equivalency requirements are followed.

• Develop employee training materials and business process manuals for the EAB Transfer Portal.

• Collaborate with technical staff to improve processes, streamline functionality and produce ad hoc reports.

• Co-facilitate transfer student sessions during Orientation and assist with Transfer Student Orientation and Admissions Preview Day.

• Update individual Academic Advising Reports (AAR) based on program or catalog changes, advanced standing or placement, course substitutions, equivalency exams and flight certificates.
