Transcript
A cumulative academic record - often with GPA and credits - distinct from a single-term report card.
American and international schools frequently issue term report cards to families while maintaining a multi-year transcript for transfers and university applications. Counselors and registrars need both documents from the same source of marks.
American schools on Schoolyi can generate cumulative transcript PDFs with credit-weighted GPA from published term report cards when the American board profile is active. Credit hour defaults apply for core and elective courses unless overridden on the subject catalog.
Buyers should ask whether an ERP produces both periodic report cards and cumulative transcripts from one gradebook, or only term snapshots that force staff into spreadsheet GPA math every spring.
Transcript accuracy depends on roster history: class placement, promotions, and gradebook publish events must remain auditable across academic years - not rebuilt from printed report cards.
