Reverse Transfer

Reverse Transfer (CWID)

• OBR has been working with CWID and pilot institutions
• Three options have been identified for indicating if the purpose of

the transcripts is for: – Credit Transfer or Reverse Transfer

• Pros and Cons will be presented for each option
• Data Standards Committee will provide feedback
• Recommendation will be made available to all USO Institutions

Reverse Transfer (Option 1)

• DocumentTypeCode Field – Type and purpose of document being

transmitted

• Enumeration – Change, TermRoll, TermGrade, StudentRequest,

RequestedRecord, InstitutionRequest, ThirdPartyRequest, RequestedRecord and so forth

• Option 1: Use “InstitutionRequest” enumeration to indicate CWID

Reverse Transfer (Option 1)

Pros:

• DocumentTypeCode is being used currently tested by pilot schools
• No changes to the PESC Schema required by OBR and USO’s
• All USO Institutions are already using this field with enumeration

“StudentRequest” for the purpose of credit transfer

• OBR will make this field available in SummaryTranscript

Cons:

• We are defining this enumeration to meet our needs and swaying

away from PESC standards

Reverse Transfer (Option 1)

Reverse Transfer (Option 2)

• UserDefinedExtensions Field – Used in situations where an XML

has to carry state specific implementation agreements

• Available under CollegeTranscript element

Reverse Transfer (Option 2)

• UserDefinedExtensions Field – Available under Student element

Reverse Transfer (Option 2)

• UserDefinedExtensions Field –Example of transcript if we go with

the UserDefinedExtensions available under Student

Reverse Transfer (Option 2)

Pros:

• Comply within the PESC Standards
• OBR will make this field available in SummaryTranscript and PDF

Cons:

• All USO Institutions have to download and use the revised

OBRExtensionsSchema

• IT Support will be needed by Institutions to map this data to SIS

tables

Reverse Transfer (Option 3)

DocumentTypeCode field: Define a new enumeration called “ReverseTransfer”. Below is an example:

Reverse Transfer (Option 3)

Pros:

• Enumeration clearly defines the purpose

Cons:

• CoreMain PESC Schema has to be customized to include this

enumeration

• USO will be using a non-standard PESC Schema
• All USO institutions will need to download the customized CoreMain

Schema

HTML Summary Changes
