About Campus Credit
Our Mission
At Campus Credit, our mission is to turn earned learning into recognized progress all without friction. We give colleges one system to run the complex lifecycle of academic workflows without the complicated steps from intake and eligibility through approval, verification, reporting, and integration. Everyone sees the status and next step, in one place. The result is less manual work, stronger compliance, and scalable pathways that help students move forward while staff focus on teaching, advising, and access.
Built on the CATEMA foundation—supporting early college credit workflows for over 20 years.
Founders Story of CATEMA: From Scantrons to Statewide Systems
Campus Credit’s roots go back more than 20 years.
In the early 2000s, Victoria College faced a massive backlog of hand-processed articulation forms built on Scantron sheets slow, error-prone, and impossible to scale. Robin Grantham, an educator with no formal coding background, built a web-based system to digitize and manage articulation efficiently. That system became CATEMA.
Supported by grant funding, CATEMA grew into a statewide solution used by colleges to align high school CTE courses with college credit. By 2015, CATEMA was serving colleges across California and helping award hundreds of thousands of college credits nationwide, improving efficiency, equity, and access.
Campus Credit is the evolution of CATEMA the same foundational platform, expanded into a modern, end-to-end system for managing academic workflows across dual enrollment, high school articulation, Credit for Prior Learning, placements, and beyond.
How we think about Workflows
We don’t design software around features. We design it around how work actually happens on campus.
Campus Credit is built by practitioners who understand that admissions, visa processing, and enrollment are not linear tasks. They involve shared responsibility, review cycles, documentation, and accountability across teams.
Our workflows reflect that reality, with clear ownership, structured steps, and audit-ready records at every stage.
From Intake to Integration
Higher ed workflows are complex and they don’t have to be complicated. Every Campus Credit workflow follows the same clear, repeatable path from intake through integration, so staff, faculty, and partners always know the status, owner, and next step.
1
Intake
Submit a request with required fields and attachments captured up front.
2
Eligibility rules + Requirments
Rules-based checks confirm the person qualifies and identify what documentation is needed.
3
Approvals + Verification
Requests route through the approval chain while evidence is reviewed with a full audit trail.

4
Scheduling + Assignment
Capacity is managed (seats/slots/cohorts/waitlists) and placements are assigned by priority rules.
5
Decision + Communication
Seats, clinical slots, internships, cohorts, or study abroad placements are assigned using capacity tracking, waitlists, and prioritization rules.
6
Record + Reporting + Integration
A single system of record drives dashboards and pushes/pulls data to SIS and other systems.
Our Commitment
Our commitment is straightforward: we continuously improve. We actively seek feedback from the institutions we serve and use operational data to guide how the platform evolves. New workflows are already in development to expand what Campus Credit can support over time. In practice, we approach this work with a “day one” mindset focused on solving real problems, reducing burden for staff, and widening access for students with every iteration.
