Updating Transcripts

Administrators can update student transcripts with updates from their toggles, standards, assessments, and more. Once a transcript is created, it can easily be saved as a .pdf for printing and sharing.

To define a transcript

To define a transcript is essentially the same as to print a transcript report.

1. Point to Students, and under Transcripts, click Define.

Note that this is different than in the old DART, where Define Transcript was listed just under your name.

2. On the DART Transcripts page, from the Groups list, select an entire group. Or, from the Users lists, select individual users.

3. Under Print Transcripts, in the Type of Transcript list, select the type of transcript you want to print.

4. In the Date Issued box, type today's date.

5. In the Start Testing Level and Final Testing Level lists, choose the range of testing levels you want to include in the transcript.

6. Click Print Reports. This may take a few moments.

When it is finished, you will need to save the PDF to your computer.

##To add information to a transcript As a principal or administrator, you can add information to students’ transcripts including test scores, extra-curricular activity involvement, and more.

5. You will see the Choose Action list next to the student's name at the top of the page. From this list, select Additional Transcript Info.

6. You will see three areas to add additional information: Testing, Additional, and Extracurricular. When you are finished adding the additional information, click Save. If you need to start over, click Reset.
