On December 6, 2019, Lehman College received the Collaboration Award for the successful digital transformation of its transfer credit process, called Electronic Transfer Credit Evaluation (eTCE). Using ProcessMaker, the college took its previously manual capture process and digitized and automated it to increase efficiency, agility, and productivity across its campus.

Lehman College is the only four-year college in the uk business email database City University of New York in the Bronx. Lehman faced a challenge felt not only by CUNY natives, but by colleges across the country. More than 68 percent of Lehman’s students are transfer students, putting a lot of pressure on innovation. Until recently, transfer evaluations were a multi-step process, fraught with time constraints, physical travel, and poor student experiences.
"We would send new students to our campus all over the place. We would send them a card, we would give them a directory, the form, and we would say, 'Okay, now go find them.' Even when they found professors, sometimes those faculty members weren't there because of scheduling issues or campus advising days [known as CDADs]," shared Christie Lucchese, Lehman College's transfer assessment coordinator.
