Student Transcript Interchange - v2.1
- Ian Christopher
- Becky McKnight
This interchange defines transcript information for a course and student academic records for a given session. Course transcripts link to the student academic record for the session in which the course was taken.
Like all standard Ed-Fi interchanges, this schema references the Ed-Fi Core XSD and can be extended using the Ed-Fi Extensions Framework. See the XML Design & Implementation Guidelines for more information.
Use Cases
The Student Transcript Interchange can be used to:
- Exchange a student's full or partial academic record.
- Exchange a transcript for a course or set of courses.
