Nova Scotia High School Transcript Guide

Revised April 2015

Introduction

The Nova Scotia High School Transcript Guide is prepared by Education and Early Childhood Development (EECD) to assist public school and school board staff with the preparation of High School Transcripts and In-Progress Transcript Reports. High School Transcripts and In-Progress Transcript Reports are created in the Nova Scotia Student Information System, PowerSchool. In most cases data used to create High School Transcripts and In-Progress Transcript Reports is drawn directly from PowerSchool and inputted automatically in transcript documents. A High School Transcript is a record of completed courses, withdrawn courses (after the permissible date), and courses accepted as transfer credits. A transcript is normally prepared at the end of a school year, or upon request. An In-Progress Transcript Report outlines the courses the student has completed, is currently enrolled in, the courses the student is registered in for the remainder of the year, and the student's grade-to-date in his/her current courses. In-progress transcript reports are normally prepared for post-secondary admission purposes mid-year, or upon request. High School Transcripts are also prepared for Adult Education High Schools and include a subtitle under the transcript heading which reads, "High School Graduation Diploma for Adults." The Nova Scotia High School Transcript Guide includes the following sections:
