Transcripts (North Carolina)

Tool Search: Transcripts

A transcript is a historical record of a student's performance in a course. Each district records grading information that students receive on transcripts and report cards. Grading information is connected to the course schedule of a student. 

The North Carolina Official Transcript report contains the elements required by the state of North Carolina. 

Transcript Reports

The North Carolina Official Transcript can be printed in PDF format from the following areas in Campus. 

  • From the student's Transcript tool. Click the Reports button on the main view of the Transcript tool to print the student's transcript. This opens a side panel with all available Transcript Reports. 
  • From the Transcript Batch Report

A System Preference exists that controls the display of the Campus-provided Default Transcript. For North Carolina, the Enable Default Transcript System Preference is set to NO so the North Carolina Official Transcript displays instead. 

The North Carolina Official Transcripts print in PDF format and include an official state seal/logo. Any printed transcript without the logo is considered an unofficial transcript.

A transcript is printed for each of the student's households with a guardian where the Mailing checkbox is marked. Only one transcript prints if all of the student's guardians are in the same household. If guardians are in more than one household, the number of households in which the guardians reside determines how many transcripts are printed.

GPA Summary

The GPA Summary section lists the student's Cumulative GPA (Weighted), Class Rank, and Cumulative GPA (Unweighted)

The Cumulative GPA values are calculated using all courses from grades 9-12 with a High School credit. Courses with a High School credit taken in grade 8 are not included in the GPA.

See the GPA Calculations in Campus article for more information. 

Class Rank

Class Rank is a mathematical summary of a student's academic record compared to other students in the class. Class Rank is calculated using the Weighted GPA value. 

North Carolina requires GPAs to have three decimal places. The System Preference that enforces this, Number of Significant GPA Decimal Places, has been locked for North Carolina.
