The eTranscript tool allows schools to generate an electronic version of student transcripts which can be submitted to post-secondary establishments and third party vendors for use in applying for acceptance into a college or university.

When a grade level is marked as Exclude from GPA (on the Grade Levels editor), courses taken by a student during those grade levels may still display on the transcript (depending on other course setup scenarios). This is only an indication that scores received from courses taken during that grade level are NOT factored into GPA calculations.

Reference the PESC XML Output for eTranscripts for guidance on what reports in the eTranscript.

eTranscript Workflow

The following workflow provides information on using eTranscripts.

Step		Campus Location
1.	Assign tool rights to eTranscripts for the appropriate users (see table below).	System Administration > User Security > Tool Rights
2.	Verify the school's CEEB number is entered.	System Administration > Resources > School
3.	Establish Code Defining values for diploma type.	System Administration > Data Defining Tools > Code Defining
4.	Configure a server connection to your eTranscript vendor's API for electronic release functionality.	System Administration > Preferences > eTranscripts > Electronic Release Setup
5.	Select eTranscript report type and customize eTranscript report preferences.	System Administration > Preferences > Reports > eTranscripts
6.	Verify PESC Test and PESC Sub-test options are entered on tests for assessments that are chosen on preferences. For example, if the student's ACT score should be included in the eTranscript, verify these fields are populated for the ACT test. In order for tests to report, at least one date and one score must be present in a Campus Test Family (Parent Test or Child Test). The Display in Transcripts checkbox must be marked to select these options.	Assessment > Test Setup
7.	Verify PESC grade levels are assigned to grade levels.	System Administration > Resources > Grade Level Definitions
8.	Ensure a PESC Name assigned to the Credit Groups. If the Credit Group does not have a PESC Name assigned, it will not be reported in the PESC output on the eTranscript.	Grading and Standards > Credit Groups > PESC Name
9.	Verify the Diploma Type, Diploma Date and NGA Cohort Year are populated on the student's Graduation record, as well as the State Seal (if applicable).	Student Information > General > Graduation
10.	Confirm the student has transcript records.	Student Information > Counseling > General > Transcripts Student Information > General > Transcripts
11.	Use the eTranscript Batch Report to generate an eTranscript for multiple students. Options are available to display the eTranscript (PESC XML output) immediately or to submit a batch of eTranscript records to Batch Queue to download at a later time, or release the records.	Grading and Standards > Reports > eTranscript Batch
12.	Download (save) and send eTranscript files to third party eTranscript vendors.	N/A

Only students with primary enrollments (Enrollment Service Type is P: Primary) are included in eTranscripts.

eTranscript Errors and Trouble Shooting

The following information can be used to troubleshoot errors you may receive when generating eTranscripts. The solutions listed may help with correcting errors. If you have attempted the solution and are still receiving errors, please contact Campus Support for assistance.

Note the following:

The XML Layout includes a message in a gray bar at the beginning of the report. As XML is not designed to be user friendly, style information is not included. This is not an error.
A message like the following may also display. This indicates an empty XML record, where no data is sent to the vendor.This is not an error.

The pop up message on the interface may not always show the full error due to a database character limit. This may happen when errors occur for five or more students.

Error	Possible Solutions	Campus UI
Missing PESC Diploma type mapping for this school year. Diploma type is not included in newly released files.	Map the Diploma Type (see Step 3 in the workflow).	System Administration > Data Defining Tools > Code Defining
The content of element 'HSTrn:HighSchoolTranscript' is not complete. One of '{Student}' is expected.	This means the student does not have a primary enrollment in the school selected in the Campus toolbar. Change the selected school in the Campus toolbar to the one in which the student does have a primary enrollment, and generate the report again. Verify the student does indeed have a primary enrollment.	Student Information > General > Enrollment > General Enrollment Information > Service Type
	This could also happen when the student's Transcript records do not have NCES Grade values (see Step 7 in the workflow). Verify PESC grade levels are defined. Assign NCES Grade Levels to the student's Transcript records.	System Administration > Resources > Grade Level Definitions Student Information > General > Transcripts or Student Information > Counseling > General > Transcripts
eTranscripts have not been received by the vendor, but the database table says files were submitted successfully.	On the eTranscript Batch report, click the Get the Report link in the Batch Queue list of reports. Verify data was sent in the XML.	Grading and Standards > Reports > eTranscript Batch
	Review the entries in Electronic Release Vendor Setup fields to ensure they are in the correct format (see Step 4 in the workflow). These fields may be case sensitive.	System Administration > Preferences > eTranscripts > Electronic Release Setup
	Review the student's enrollment record for a Primary Service Type. Change the selected school in the Campus toolbar to the one in which the student does have a primary enrollment, and generate the report again. Verify the student does indeed have a primary enrollment.	Student Information > General > Enrollment > General Enrollment Information > Service Type
