Introduction:
During the admissions process, sometimes students will send in an updated transcript(s). Once a applicant becomes a student, our system no longer recognizes as an applicant and stops updating their account. To help solve this problem, IRIS was created on the Campus Solutions Services SharePoint site. IRIS is where staff can request that the student's credits from their other institution be posted to their account so they can receive credit for the classes they have taken. In this module, it will show all of the necessary steps to submit an IRIS request. Once these steps have been completed, the credits will be posted to the student's account and the issue will be resolved. Please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Navigating to the IRIS website
The purpose of this step is to navigate to the IRIS Site to begin the IRIS request. The link for the IRIS site is: https://rar-iris.cougarnet.uh.edu/iris/index.php
Clicking and following that link brings you to the IRIS homepage as shown to the left.
*If you are working remotely off-campus you will need to turn ON your VPN to access this site.
Step 2: Navigating to the IRIS request
Log On the left hand side of the page, there is a column with various links linking to other sub-sections of IRIS. Under the Request Panel, you will select the 'Submit Request".
