The team adopted the vision from previous sprints. It updated the ERD from the Detroit sprint to reflect the new objects added at but not documented during the Philly sprint.
The team proposed removing the relationship from Course Transfer to Program Plan, since it's related to Course and the Philly. sprint introduced an object related to course to store rules associated with the course (e.g., program-specific rules).
The team also proposed updating the solution to include Affiliations, Application and Education History.
- Next Steps The team should draw the new ERD and replace the one in the Rsources link. The team should configure the relationships with the existing EDA objects proposed by this projedt team. The team should refresh the data in the repository to include data for these new objects.

When students want to transfer from one institution to another, they want to know how their course history will transfer to equivalent course credit at the desired institution. This project creates a schema to capture the information about transfer equivalency: details about the course at the originating institution, details about the course at the destination institution, how many transfer credits a course is worth, a history of course transfer information, and other course details.
Documentation can be found in the repository wiki:

Project Team Accomplishments What did the Project Team get done during the Sprint? March 2020: Updated the schema from July 2019 using my EDA objects. Included Application, Course with new recordtype (External), as well as Contact and Account (Education Institution record type). Built 3 custom objects: Transcript, Transcript Course, and Course Equivalency Rule. Transcript is a parent for Transcript Course. Transcript Course has a double look up to Course. Course Equivalency Rule is the object that matches an external course with the approved internal course.
- In July 2019, the project team created a schema, some record types, and an outline of the setup guide.
See the Issues tab for open enhancements. Feel free to add additional suggestions and use cases!
Students will be able to see how their courses transfer to the destination institution. This database of transfer equivalencies is exposed to students so students can "window shop" to see how their existing credits could transfer to different institutions.
