Identify where the workflow drifted

Most CampusPin problems show up when the process loses the question it started with. This troubleshooting guide focuses on separating start points from destinations so the workflow can recover more quickly.

How to tell the problem is fixed

Frequently asked questions

What should I do first when fixing transfer path unclear on CampusPin?

Start with the surface that best matches the current question, usually a state page, results page, or school profile. A better starting question usually matters more than a deeper click path.

How do I know whether the workflow is helping?

It is helping if the shortlist, comparison set, or next question becomes clearer after the session. Good help articles reduce uncertainty, not just add reading.

When should I use the Advisor?

Use the Advisor when you can describe the tradeoff you need help with. It works best after a first filter or profile pass has already happened.
