The Electronic Release Setup tool allows districts to establish connections for electronic release of student transcripts through their eTranscript vendor of choice if their vendor of choice uses an electronic release API. Your district's system administrator needs to request this information from your eTranscript vendor. Infinite Campus does not provide this information to districts.

All of the fields require a value in order to save.
