What is the College Transcript interface?

...

This interface is also referred to as the Course Import and SIS Import. The remainder of this page uses the Transferology term Course Import regarding the interface and the exchange process and College Transcript when referring to the PESC schema.

...

Ohio Schemas 0.5 and 0.6

The Ohio schemas are predecessors to the PESC schema. The Ohio schemas are only supported for backward compatibility of existing interfaces, therefore, no new interfaces should be created from them. For support purposes they can be found here: http://www.transfer.org/xsd/SISv05.xsd http://www.transfer.org/xsd/SISv06.xsd

...

The Course Import Exchange process is triggered by a Transferology user requesting to import courses from a school. Users can only request the import from schools that have a defined SIS Import Remote URL in Transferology. See External URLs for information on the school's SIS Import Remote URL. 

The exchange of information between Transferology and the school system occurs in the following event sequence:

...

The school's Student Information System needs to force the the user to authenticate with the proper credentials for the school , since Transferology user credentials are different than the schools and cannot be used here.

...

If Transferology successfully finds the student and request, the XML document is well-formed, and the content is valid and content is saved in the student's Transferology courses, then Transferology replies with the following:

   <response status="0">success</response>

The course work coursework is immediately available for viewing by the Transferology user.

...

If Transferology encounters an error (i.e., parsing, validation, or finding), a failure result (non-zero status) is provided. Below is an example failure result:

...

The CollegeTranscript XML document must be well-formed and must contain the minimum elements that Transferology requires. Transferology does not strictly validate the XML document against the schema due to the number of unused elements in the PESC schema. The following XML shows the minimum information that must exist in the document. The example data shows the key and uid values from the earlier example Course Import URL-:
