Approved Equivalencies

A cross-package view of every approved equivalence in your workspace — search, filter, and inspect any approved match without opening the package it lives in.

Approved Equivalencies

The Approved Equivalencies page is a workspace-wide view of every approved equivalence across every transfer package. It's where you go when you want to ask the kinds of questions that don't fit inside one package — "have we ever articulated PSY 101 from Belmont?", "show me every accounting equivalence on the books", "what have we approved from Austin Peay so far?"

Open it from Approved Equivalencies in the sidebar.


What you're looking at

A single table with one row per approved equivalence, sorted by approval date (newest first). Each row shows:

  • Approved — the date the equivalence was approved, with the reviewer's name beneath it. Older equivalences from before reviewer attribution was captured show the date alone.
  • Transferring Institution — the source school the equivalence came from.
  • Transfer Course (cream-banded) — the source course's code, title, credits, and the period it was taken in.
  • Home Course (lavender-banded) — the approved home-institution course's code, title, and credits.

The cream + lavender color bands are the same convention used on the Course Equivalencies tab — so the two halves of each row are immediately distinguishable as transfer-side vs. home-side.

Two filters sit above the table:

  • A search field"Search by course, package, or institution…" — that filters by course code, course title, package name, or transferring institution all at once.
  • An institution dropdown"All transferring institutions" — that scopes the table to one source school.

Inspecting an equivalence

Click the chevron on the left of any row to expand it. The foldout shows the same candidate card you'd see on the package's Course Equivalencies tab — code, title, institution, academic year, the full Match Justification paragraph, plus the Manual match indicator if the equivalence was selected by hand instead of from Mapademics's suggestions.

If the reviewer left a Reviewer comment when they approved the equivalence, it appears just below the candidate card under a Reviewer comment heading. (This is distinct from the per-candidate Reviewer note that lives inside the flag section — see Flag and Reviewer note.)

Below that, you'll see Package: {package name} as a link. Click it to jump straight into that package's Course Equivalencies tab, where you can change the approval, flag, or otherwise edit the equivalence in its original context.


When this page is useful

A few patterns teams reach for it for:

  • Precedent lookup. "Has anyone already approved an equivalent for this course?" Search by code; if it's been done, you'll see who, when, and against which home course.
  • Auditing recent work. Sort by approval date (the default) and scan what's been approved in the last week — including which reviewer signed off.
  • Institution-level review. Filter to one transferring institution and review every articulation you have on file with that school.

The page is read-only here — to change an equivalence, jump into the package via the Package: {name} link in the foldout.

{% hint style="info" %} Approval is an explicit decision. An equivalence only shows up on this page once a reviewer (or the bulk Approve All Best Matches action) has actively approved a candidate. Rows that are still in Review or marked No Equivalent don't appear here. {% endhint %}
