Scenario:

1. Can we let parents view transcripts?

2. How do we let our parents and students view transcripts online?


Solution:

Parents and Students can view an unofficial version of the transcript through their Gradelink accounts as long as they are granted permission by an Administrator.


To allow parents and students to view unofficial transcripts, an Administrator must first grant them access:

  1. Go to the Settings tab
  2. Click on the Parent/Student sub-tab
  3. Check the box labeled Unofficial Transcript
  4. Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page



Once this setting is made active, Parents and Students will be able to view an unofficial transcript by logging into Gradelink and going to the Transcript tab.



Note: This version of the transcript is "unofficial" for several reasons. First, it will display grades for individual terms regardless of whether or not those terms belong to a parent term; on the official transcript, terms that belong to a parent term are averaged together into a single, overall grade. Second, this version of the transcript doesn't show additional information like graduation requirements or the name of the certifying official like the official transcript does.
