Understanding Transcript Levels

On various pages throughout your Student Administration system, you are prompted to select the transcript level for which you want to print information. The transcript level you select determines the type of transcript on which the information appears. Transcript levels are hierarchically based on the two-digit numeric code in the value column of the translate table for the field TRANSCRIPT_LEVEL. The following table lists the transcript levels and their values in the translate table, and describes each one.

Note: Information in the table about the Advising Report applies only if you set up for COBOL based transcripts, using the Transcript Type component (TSCRPT_TYPE).

When you generate transcripts, the system includes the applicable information for all transcripts types with a value on the translate table greater than or equal to the transcript level you select. For example, if you select Official, the system includes the applicable information on all transcript types. However, if you select Stdnt Life, the system only includes the applicable information on student life transcripts and degree progress transcripts.

Transcript level values are delivered with your system as translate values. Do not modify these values in any way. Any modifications to these values require a substantial programming effort.
