Transcript - Official

You can use the Transcript - Official report to generate the transcripts for one or more students that are official and organized by program that includes only completed terms and courses. The official transcript contains all the coursework completed at your institution and contains all the grades for all enrollments.

The criteria you specify filter the data in the report. For example, if you select a specific campus and all program versions, you will only retrieve records for the students at that campus for program versions at that campus.

You can use this report to generate single-column transcripts. To generate two-column transcripts, you must use either Processes such as Transcripts, Transcripts Request Outbound, or use custom two-column transcripts. For more information, see the Administration and Configuration Help for the version of the product at help.anthology.com.

If you frequently generate reports with the same selection criteria, you can save the selection criteria under a name. This makes it easier to generate reports in the future with the same selection criteria.
