Articulation Modernization Project

Project Overview

The Articulation Modernization Project was launched in 2019 as part of the ASSIST Strategic Plan and program commitment to providing users the ability to complete their work efficiently via core system functionality built using current and innovative technology. The project had multiple anticipated outcomes:

1. A better articulation management experience for university articulation officers
2. Increased agreement consistency and greater understanding with a dynamic and streamlined agreement format
3. A strong system architecture, stable and efficient code base, and structures that support data integrity and uniformity
4. An ability to easily and accurately share articulation data for use in other student transfer systems and applications
5. Improved user experience when searching agreements on assist.org 

While the project is close to completion, the purpose of this page is to provide project-related information. Updates are published regularly and summarized in the ASSIST quarterly newsletter. Sign up to receive updates by email on the ASSIST Resource Center News page. ASSIST data managers (Articulation Officers) receive specific functionality information for working in the modernized system via ASSIST email distribution lists. If you manage articulation data for your institution and need to confirm if you are on the appropriate distribution list, please contact your ASSIST Senior Articulation Analyst. 

Milestones

The largest project milestone - public launch of modernized (2023-2024) articulation agreements - was met November 2023. The most recent project milestone - the completion of the articulation roll forward tool that provides data managers with the ability to copy data forward into the next academic year to begin working on (2024-2025) articulation agreements - was met June 2024. The last, and most anticipated, project milestone - articulation data sharing via API - is estimated to be met by the end of Fall 2024 (end of year). For more information and specific updates related to this milestone, refer to the ASSIST Resource Center Data page.
