eTranscript Implementations & Follow up with colleges

Below is the latest updates on where we are with each college:

  • Barstow 6.13.24: Barstow responded and we are meeting today at 1. Per Parchment, we just need to know whether they want it on for ALL orders, or if this will just be used for their exchange transcripts. They are all ready to go on the Parchment side.

  • Cabrillo CCD - 3.5.24: Emailed Parchment back advising that we are blocked on moving forward with Cabrillo until we have a SaaS solution in place. I will keep them informed with updates.

  • Compton CCD - 4.18.24 Blocked for sending based on them being SaaS.

  • Feather River CCD (ECA) 4.8.24: Sent cal invite to meet for eTranscripts sending for 4.15. 24.

Currently, only Grossmont College is set for Uploads. He is waiting for the XAP team to enable uploads for Cuyamaca College. Sean provided the paths for Grossmont College’s upload directories in the test environment.

  • Marin CCD - 3.21.24: emailed Jon at the college and asked to set up a kickoff meeting to get this process started. No cohort established yet.

  • Merced CCD (ECA) 6.18.24 - College emailed us back stating, "Attached is a spreadsheet with some questions. These errors seem to be duplicated on multiple transcripts, so rather than list each transcript separately, I just listed one. I did include IDs to another example for a couple of the items." Parchment to respond.

  • Napa Valley CCD - 4.4.24: Met with Napa and they want to test this week. They plan to be ready for go live by 4.11.24. If I have not heard from them by then, I'll email them to get a status.

  • Porterville - Kern CCD: 4.4.24: Met with Maria Braidi, new director, and they are having a meeting in 2 weeks to talk internally to see if they want to break contract with Certree or start picking back up with Parchment again. She will let us know what they decide. If I dont hear from them by May 1, I will folow up.

  • Palo Verde CCD - 3.25.24: College emailed me back stating, " I currently use parchment for sending electronically, will this satisfy those requirements perhaps?" Amanda responded back that no, it wont meet the reqs. She asked that I send her some dates of availability. Amanda sent email with date and will schedule when she responds.

  • Peralta CCD (ECA) 5.21.24: College and Sean met - they are building this in house. The call was an initial meeting to discuss XAP Communicator Integration with PeopleSoft at Peralta. I outlined, in basic terms, the process of extracting student data from PeopleSoft, creating an ASCII or XML report in the correct eTranscriptCA format, and uploading it via XAP Communicator. I explained that the “lift” to develop a process was on the College(s) as XAP’s IT team doesn’t have expertise in PeopleSoft to assist. They asked about their previous set-up for sending transcripts and I explained that this was managed through integration with Credentials/Parchment.Following the call, Sean sent the Peralta Team all the required implementation resources required including a very detailed sample implementation provided by Los Rios Community College District. The Peralta team will go over the materials and will plan a foll-up meeting.

  • San Diego CCD (ECA) 6.13.24: Marina from the college advised, "Sorry! We weren’t able to get to the test student list for you. It’s been a crazy week. Amy and I will work on it next week and send it to the team." Amanda to flw up the week of June 24th.

  • San Francisco CCD 4.22.24: Monika at the college told me she needs a timeframe on how long it takes to set up bc their plan is to explore a timeline in next spring to start this process. I told her the timelines and asked if she wanted to schedule a meeting to discuss details.

  • San Joaquin Delta CCD (ECA) 6.13.24: Todd from Parchment emailed us back advising Courtney will be new PM and asked Sean to answer the question from his last email on the 28th. I emailed sean asking him to respond today.

  • San Mateo County CCD - 3.21.24 - Sent email to demellon@smccd.edu to schedule meeting to do a kickoff call. No cohort established yet and they are not a home college.

  • Santa Monica CCD - 11.2.23 - Per Mike- hold off on reaching out.

  • Shasta-Tehama-Trinity Joint CCD (ECA) - 4.22.24: Courtney from Parchment checked in with the college asking if they had questions regarding the test transcripts that Parchment sent over for your review.

  • Sierra Joint CCD - 4.3.24 - College reached out to XAP and asked to start the process for the sending set up. Sean sent out dates/times. Hoever, they responded saying they arent interested in having this conversation based on being a CVC TC bc they are not starting that yet...they advised the following: Our interest is to understand what's possible with eTranscriptsCA beyond accepting electronic transcripts. We'd like to understand more about sending electronic transcripts as well as accepting (and sending?) electronic requests. We are not considering becoming a CVC-Teaching College at the moment, but we are collaborating with Sacramento State on the Placer Center project and sharing transcripts electronically will be important to that effort. Amanda sent email to Sean and Sean suggested dates for them to meet. Sean will schedule once he hears back.

  • Siskiyou Joint CCD (ECA) 5.14.24: Met with Siskiyous team and they will have to build the sendinf process in house. Amanda sent them over the eTranscript samples Coast built. They advised they will probably not have this ready to go by the time they go live as a P2 TC, but should not be a problem to be live at the end of the first term. Advised Mickinzie will check in with them every 2-3 weeks to see how things are progressing and monitor for go live readiness from there.

  • Solano CCD - 11.14.23 - Parchment sent email to Solano advising they need a status update. The college emailed us back stating: "Yes – our SaaS go-live date is April 8th, 2024. As noted by Amanda, I believe we have Parchment sending on pause until we have our integrations set up for SaaS. Our new timeline to become a “Teaching” College is to be part of the Fall 2024 Cohort. Once SaaS has been implemented with the given timeline, we can revisit our setup for Parchment sending. I apologize if any of these plans have changed, as I am going off my previous meeting notes documented at the time. Parchment responded that they have canceled this project and will pick it back up when they are ready.

  • Victor Valley CCD (ECA) 9.16.23: BLOCKED Victor Valley is going to switch to SaaS in April 2024, so we will be placing this one on hold until after that migration.

  • West Kern CCD (ECA) 2.19.24: Sent email to Kyle and asked how testing is going/see if they will be ready to go live this week or next.

  • West Valley-Mission CCD (ECA) 6.13.24: College heard back from Ellucian and they need to talk internally before they decide to move forward with next steps. College advised they will reach out ASAP with us for an update.

  • Yuba CCD (ECA) 4.18.24: They received what State Center did and they showed us what they plan to do to build this in house based on what state center did. They did a demo what what they accomplished so far and the started with edi format, so Sean said only csv or askii. They will go back and re-format. They will email us for another meeting when they have next steps figured out.

 

 

  • Amanda and Sean to continue reaching out to colleges next week to continue getting them set up on sending and receiving.
