Allow courses in progress on new transcript builder

College application progress requires generating transcripts in the first quarter; the new transcript builder does not have an effective means of including courses in progress on the transcript (selecting "show all courses regardless of grades etc) is not an effective remedy as this option results in listing p/f courses in the letter grade section without grades and duplicating them in the p/f grade section.

    Listing the courses in progress is required for application purposes. Especially for sports and college applications. We cannot use the new builder until this is fixed. Going on 5 years now.

    Echoing all of the above messages - this is basic functionality that simply must be implemented ASAP. It is not feasible to have to work around this limitation given how prevalent the Common App is. This should be as simple as including a toggle switch. It's beyond words that this idea, and the new builder itself, is almost five years old at this point and this functionality still does not exist.

    Courses in progress are crucial and manually manipulating our terms every time a transcript is run is not efficient. This functionality from the old builder is very much needed ASAP.

    Courses in progress with grades is imperative for seniors when they are applying to colleges. This feature would be extremely helpful to have and should be considered as a priority.

    Courses in progress is a REQUIREMENT for all seniors applying to college using the Common App.

    We just moved to the new transcript and dedicated numerous workdays to ensuring it lists everything that the Old transcript did. Very tedious. It is EXTREMELY dissapointing that there is no option to list "Courses In Progress" for the FULL year like the old transcript did.

    The following options do NOT work:

    Student -Term Enrollment- lists ONLY by semester; Common App needs full year

    New Transcript Builder (list all courses not graded)- Lists a DELUGE of courses we do not want listed (including p/f courses, PE etc) that we don't want on there for ALL 4 YEARS. We just need for senior year academic classes.


    Blackbaud, please consider updating this/adding these options on the New Transcript as well as offer FULL ACADEMIC YEAR for Student- Term Enrollments.


    For others considering the New Transcript- I do not recommend moving to the new transcript before Blackbaud addresses this issue if you are a school with 12th grade.


    Please see the attachment of a screenshot of the Common App where I've highlighted this requirement. MOST students in the U.S. use the Common App to apply to college. Thank you.

    Will not move to new transcript builder without this feature

    This feature is impertive and should be included. I am in agreement with everyone's comments. This is one major reason we have not transitioned to the new transcript builder. Courses in pogress are essential on transcripts that we send with college applications and in addition we have replied on this information displaying on transcripts for all of our students - it is the document we rely on when meeting with students to review their course progress.

    Our Registrar refuses to move to the new transcript builder until it shows courses in progress! Our college counseling office absolutely won't use it if they can't produce a transcript before there are any grades associated with the courses.

    Thanks for considering pusing this up the priority list!

    Hi Blackbaud team, I'm going to try to be the squeaky wheel on this idea. I hope this is planned for this year

    We will not use the new transcript builder until "courses in progress" feature is available.

    PLEASE add "courses in progress" n the new transcript builder. This is vital information for counselors when they are sending senior transcripts to colleges in the 1st semester. I'm quite surprised this isn't already available. Until this happens (hopefully sooner rather than later), we will be forced to continue to use the old transcript builder.

    Hi Blackbaud Team, please push this idea up in priority. We cannot use the new transcript builder when sending out transcripts for college applications because of this issue. A separate "courses in progress" block, which includes 2nd semester courses, would work great—this is how it is shown on the old transcript builder.
