Hello - I was wondering if there are information on how to use the WildCard in Transfer Subject Area. I've looked at other resources and could not locate any information. If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciated it.
Thank you!

Hi Mia! If you are referring to the Incoming Course section, select the Wildcard checkbox and use the # at the end of course number (in the course number field). For example, you'll enter 2## for the course number (in the Incoming Course section). If the box is unchecked, you will need to enter the complete course number (docs. oracle.com). Thank you Mia for your question. ~Tanjagay Martin | CS Core Trainer

Hello, I see there is a Subject Area Elements tab on the Transfer Subject Page. Within this tab is a Review History button is this comment screen used for anything specifically?

Hi Cristina,
Thank you for your question. The Transfer Credit Rule - Reviews page does provide users with a field to add Comments, and the Transfer Credit Model also offers links that allow users to add their own comments based on their business practice. What is excellent about PeopleSoft is that colleges can integrate comments into a variety of processes. Have a great day, Cristina! ~Tanjagay Martin | CS Core Trainer
