Articulation Officer.
Conditionally or Not Approved

If a course has been conditionally approved or not
approved, it will be sent back to the submitting
Articulation Officer who then has a year to resubmit a
revised COR.
When an Articulation Officer resubmits a course where
you were the original reviewer, it will automatically
return to your list. You would then only be able to
review the areas that needed correction and verify
concerns have been addressed. Your previous
comments will be visible.
You would follow the same process as you initially did
in the first review.
