How do I create or add new activities to my Transcript?
To create your transcript you will need to enter your personal information and then add as many records as you like. To navigate you will use the blue tabs at the top of the page.
1. To begin, click on “Edit Personal Info.” A page will appear that will ask you to provide your name, email address and other personal information. You man input as much or as little as you like, but it is recommended at the very least you input your name, phone number and email address. When you print your transcript you will be able to select what personal information appears.
When you have finished entering your information, click on the “Submit” button at the bottom of the page. A page will then appear with the message “Student details updated.”
2. You are now ready to begin adding records to your transcript. Click on the blue tab labeled “Add Record.” A page will appear with a number of blank fields. Enter the name of the activity or organization and your position in the blank boxes.
Then use the drop-down menus to select the month or semester and year that you began the activity, and ended the activity. If you currently are still doing the activity, you have the option of selecting “Present” for the end month.
Next select the number of hours you participate in the activity from the drop-down menu.
There is a large box labeled “Description” in which you are able to type a description of the activity, your level of involvement, responsibilities you have, or anything else you would like to note. You may write as much as you like, but it is recommended you keep your description to no more than a few sentences.
Next you may assign a category to this activity that you may select from the drop-down menu provided.
Finally, you will see a list of descriptive words labeled “Skills learned or used.” You may click on the box next to as many of the words or phrases that you feel are relevant to this activity.
To save this record, click the “Submit” button at the bottom of the page. A page will appear confirming that your record has been added by showing the message “New record added.”
3. To create another record, click on link provided on the confirmation page that reads “Add another record” or click on the blue tab at the top of the page labeled “Add a new record.”
How do I edit records in my Transcript?
To edit your transcript, click on the blue tab at the top of the page that says “Edit Record.” A list will appear of all of the records you have added. To make changes to any of the records you have entered, click on the “Edit” button next to the record you would like to change. To delete a record completely, click on the “Delete” button next to the record you would like to delete.
How do I print my Transcript?
To print your transcript, click on the blue tab at the top of the page labeled “Review & Print.” A list of all the records that will be printed will appear. You may edit, delete or review each record by clicking on the “Edit,” “Delete,” or “Review” buttons next to each record.
Next, you will have the option of selecting what personal information will be included and printed on your transcript. Click the box next to each piece of information you would like included.
Finally, select from the “Publish Option” drop-down menu whether you would like your transcript to print a resume in a large or short form or in a table format.
A short form only includes the dates of involvement, name of the activity and the position. A long form includes everything on the short form and additionally includes the description of the activity, the activity hours, category of the activity, and the skills learned or used. A table format lists each activity much like it appears listed above on the “Review & Print” page.
To preview each of these formats, select the option you prefer and then click the “Format to Print” button. A new page will display the option you selected with transcript letterhead and the personal information you requested. You may then print the transcript from your browser by selecting print from the menu bar .
