Parchment Transfer Articulation helps higher education systems, consortia, and institutions manage course equivalencies and student transfer.
What Parchment Transfer Articulation is
Parchment Transfer Articulation helps higher education systems, consortia, and institutions manage course equivalencies and student transfer. Students can search an online equivalency database by general education requirement, institution, or course, and request a course credit evaluation with syllabi and notes attached. Administrators can automate articulation evaluations, changes, and approvals, including faculty reviews and approval tracking. Course updates can be compared side by side, published immediately, and logged with review history. A centralized dashboard supports user and role-based access management, audit logs, and real-time reports. The platform integrates with major student information systems and supports multi-SIS imports or file uploads. Parchment states the product is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows FERPA-compliant policies; it also says annual third-party SOC 2 Type II audits cover security, confidentiality, availability, processing integrity, and privacy. The web-based product is licensed to systems, consortia, and institutions. Pricing is available by quote, with no numeric price listed.
