Student - Transcript Supplemental


Introduction

In creating a Transcript for your Student, you have the option to include additional information about her schooling career. These areas are each optional and you can choose to use them as needed for each of your Students. For each entry created in any one of these areas, you can choose whether or not those details will be included on the Transcript.
