Identifying Related Courses
When merging the newly calculated official mark information with existing official mark information, only Courses that are related to the Transcript Trigger that started the Official Mark Calculator can result in updates to Official Mark information.
A course is considered related to the Transcript Trigger when the Course is:
- (A) One of the courses included in the Transcript Trigger
- (B) Associated to a course mark that is considered impacted by a change in Maturity Date (see below).
- (C) Considered a “Course Credit Equivalency” to one of the related courses identified above.
- See Identifying Regular Course Equivalencies for more information
- (D) A higher level course of one of the related courses identified above.
- This is identified by finding all Course Relationships with a Relationship Type (Course) = PRQ where the courses identified above are included as one of the Related Courses. The related course(s) are considered to be the lower-level course on a typical progression relationship.
- The process is recursive, meaning that higher level courses of the higher level courses identified are also added.
- (E) A prerequisite courses of one of the related courses identified above.
- This is identified by finding all Course Relationships with a Relationship Type (Course) = PRQ where the course code the relationship is tied to is one of the courses identified above. The course in context on the relationship record is considered the higher-level course.
- The process is recursive, meaning that the prerequisite courses of the prerequisite courses identified are also added.
- (F) Considered a “Course Challenge Equivalent” course to an existing official mark with a Course Challenge as a selected mark 1) and one of the related courses identified from above (A), (B), or (C), which is either:

Identifying Course Marks Impacted By Student Maturity
Sometimes, the transcript processor is triggered due to a change in student Maturity Date. When this happens, the system needs to determine if a course mark is impacted by the change in maturity date.
Course Marks that are impacted by a change in Maturity Date, include:
- Course Enrolments with an Exit Date (Course Enrolment) that is between the old and the new Maturity Date
- Evaluated Marks where the Evaluation Date is between the old and the new Maturity Date
- Diploma Exam Marks where the Exam Written On Date is between the old and the new Maturity Date
