Generate Transcripts in Batch by Student Group
Purpose: Use this as a reference for generating transcripts in batch by a student group in ctcLink.
Audience: Student Records staff.
You must have at least one of these local college-managed security roles:
- ZZ SR Transcript Processing
If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.
Please do not run the Batch Transcript process during peak hours! Be kind to your fellow ctcLink users and schedule this process to run after hours.
Only one Batch Transcript process can run at a time. What does this mean for you? If you're trying to run your process simultaneously with another user, you may see a " blocked " status in the Process Monitor. Don't panic! This is the system's way of telling you that someone else is running a Batch Transcript process.
If your process status is Blocked, read that as "paused" and not "request denied." The system will process requests, including yours, in the order they were received, so check back later to see if your process has started running. If your process doesn't start running in a reasonable amount of time (give it a full day), put it On Hold and Restart it.

Zhane Serrano
Could we please have some elaboration as to why we should not select "official transcript"? Is it just for the purpose of this QRG? Thank you.

Hello Zhane, Thank you for your question. The document's layout should be unofficial to ensure the courses are displayed appropriately. Have a great day! ~Tanjagay Martin | CS Core Trainer
Hillary Emerson
I don't have the option to choose unofficial transcript. Do I need to ask for that access or can I just run Official Transcripts?
Tanjagay Martin
Hello Hillary, Thanks for asking such a great question. SACR Security controls selectable values. Transcript Report Security can be confirmed with your college's LSA. Have a fantastic day, Hillary! ~Tanjagay Martin | CS Core Training
