Introducing "Transfer Search" in FlightPath: A Game-Changer for Prospective Transfer Students

Transferring to a new university should be an exciting step forward, not a frustrating puzzle of figuring out how past coursework fits into a new degree program.
That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce Transfer Search, the latest feature in FlightPath, our academic advising and student success system. With FlightPath's new Transfer Search tool, prospective students can easily plug in their current coursework to see how it would apply to a degree at your university.
What is Transfer Search?
Transfer Search is a powerful new tool that allows prospective students—and their academic advisors—to see exactly how their completed coursework will transfer into a degree at your university. Whether students are coming from a 2-year community college or another 4-year institution, Transfer Search gives them immediate clarity on how their credits apply to our programs.
How It Works
- Students & faculty enter completed coursework from another institution.
- FlightPath analyzes the data and instantly shows how those courses can apply to a selected degree.
- Students see a clear degree path, including what courses they still need to take to graduate, and even what percentage of work is left.
This real-time transfer evaluation eliminates uncertainty and allows students to make informed decisions about transferring before they even apply.
Why This is a Game-Changer for Recruitment
For many students, the decision to transfer often comes with hesitation and confusion about how their hard-earned credits will count. FlightPath's Transfer Search feature removes these barriers, making your university a clear and attractive choice.
- No more guesswork - Students know upfront what credits will transfer.
- Faster enrollment decisions - When students see a clear path, they commit faster.
- Stronger relationships with feeder institutions - Community colleges will be more likely to recommend your university as a seamless next step.
Driving Enrollment and Revenue
Beyond its student-friendly benefits, FlightPath's Transfer Search tool is also a major revenue driver for your university.
- Increased transfer applications - When students can easily see their progress, they’re more likely to apply and enroll.
- Higher retention rates - Transfer students who start with clear degree plans are more likely to stay and complete their degrees.
- Reduced administrative burden - Advisors spend less time manually evaluating transfer credits, allowing them to focus on student success.
Every new transfer student who chooses your university represents thousands of dollars in tuition revenue, and FlightPath's Transfer Search tool ensures you don’t lose them to competing institutions because of confusing or unclear transfer policies.
