Wednesday, November 28th, 2018 at 12:00pm MT

The South Dakota Board of Regents (SDBOR) and Laramie County Community College (LCCC) have completed the implementation of Interstate Passport. This webinar will describe the scripts and processes used by SDBOR and LCCC to complete these tasks in the Colleague student information system. These solutions include (1) identifying students that meet the requirements to earn a Passport; (2) the processes to enter the Passport into Colleague to appear on the transcript, (3) and the process to submit the list of Passport students to the National Student Clearinghouse.
