eTranscripts in CAMS (U.S. version)
As part of your Career Cruising for high school subscription (U.S. version), you can enable eTranscripts in Application Planner. This feature allows students to make requests to Advisors to send their transcripts to colleges and universities, eliminating the need to scan images, print documents, or incur mailing or delivery fees. Transcripts are securely sent through the Credentials eSS Solutions service delivery network, which connects to 2,000+ colleges and universities worldwide.

Set up eTranscripts
You’ll work with your Career Cruising Onboarding Manager to set up eTranscripts for your school or district. As part of your set-up, you'll create a simple school profile page to be appended to each transcript sent and complete an end-to-end test to ensure transcripts have been properly configured. Advisors at each school determine which grade levels of students will be able to make transcript requests.
Once eTranscripts set-up is complete, students can begin requesting transcripts and track the progress of their requests from their My Plan account. Advisors flagged as eTranscript Specialists will receive notifications of pending requests via the Transcript Dashboard on their Advisor homepage. They can complete transcript requests by following the below steps. Learn More >
Generate/print transcripts from a Student Information System (SIS)
Student transcript information that you'll upload to Career Cruising is generated from your SIS. You'll convert and save a single transcript or a batch of transcripts as PDFs before uploading it to CAMS. If your SIS does not make transcripts available in a PDF format, your Onboarding Manager can assist you with the installation of a print driver that will convert transcripts into PDFs.
Upload transcripts to CAMS
After generating transcript files, Advisors need to upload them to CAMS before sending to colleges and universities. Learn More >
Map transcripts if needed
Through data integration with your SIS, most uploaded transcripts will automatically be mapped to students in Career Cruising using the student ID. Any transcripts that aren't automatically linked to a student account will need to be mapped in CAMS. Learn More >
Send transcripts to colleges and universities
After transcripts are uploaded and mapped, they're ready to be sent to colleges or universities through the Credentials eSS Solutions secure eTranscript delivery network. Learn More >
Note: You can send an ESSR as part of a transcript by combining the transcript and ESSR into one document prior to turning it into a PDF. The ESSR will then appear in Career Cruising as part of the student’s transcript file.
Track and confirm receipt
Once an Advisor sends a transcript to a college or university, the receiving school is notified through their Credentials eSS portal or via email. They’ll then be able to view the file. All transcripts sent using eTranscripts are watermarked to ensure authenticity and delivered via a secure (SSL) connection.
Advisors can track the status of transcripts sent to colleges and universities by viewing the Transcript Dashboard on the Advisor homepage and clicking Submitted Requests. They can then see if a transcript has been received and/or viewed by the receiving school.
