STUDENT, FACULTY, OR STAFF? Learn about how and why to use
Transfer Explorer (T-Rex)
Transfer Explorer provides you and everyone else--inside and outside of CUNY--with quick and easy access to information about how ANY CUNY course at ANY CUNY college will transfer to ANY other CUNY college. Transfer Explorer will tell you (and anyone else), for a particular CUNY course at a particular college, what kind of credit every other CUNY college will give that course if a student who has taken that course transfers within CUNY.

All faculty are invited to reach out to the respective mentors from their school for guidance and support as needed about teaching with technology and online!
The current Faculty Mentors Cohort appointment for Fall 2022 is from August 25 to December 21, 2022. We encourage you to make use of faculty mentors’ expertise and tap into their collegial support.
Faculty Mentors are appointed every Fall and Spring semester to help Lehman faculty enhance their approaches to online, hybrid, and teaching with technology. The selected Lehman faculty serve as peer mentors and resource to support their colleagues in the respective academic school to leverage technology to support student learning and quality instruction. The Office of Online Education supports the faculty mentors to ensure that they have all the necessary resources to be successful in their roles. Reach out via email to contact a faculty mentor in your school to schedule an appointment or to get support and assistance via email. Faculty mentors will also be hosting webinars on a variety of topics this semester, from engaging online learners, implementing alternative assessments to using Blackboard features and technology tools.
For more information and to identify the mentor for your school each semester, visit the mentors page or see below.
What Can Faculty Mentors Help With?
- Advise school colleagues who need assistance with set-up of Blackboard to support a class (e.g. how to make the course available to students, post an announcement, create a discussion forum, create an assignment, etc.)
- Answer questions concerning instructional approaches and options to enrich their courses like Blackboard quizzes, Zoom, Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, discussion forums, Grade Center and rubrics, VoiceThread, and other relevant institutionally supported technologies.
- Share best practices, instructional strategies, tips for efficient and effective teaching and learning online and with technology.
- Serve as a sounding board and exchange ideas on time-saving solutions and high-impact practices in technology enhanced environments or online.
How to Contact Faculty Mentors?
- You can reach out directly to faculty mentors assigned to your school via email (see below). Faculty mentors respond to questions via email, host regular office hours, schedule training or special topical sessions, and one-on-one and/or group appointments.
