userEducator Xello productXello 6-12 Time2 minutes

Unmatched transcripts rarely happen and if they do, it’s usually because a student name or ID on the transcript doesn’t match with one in the student list in Xello. You can fix this by manually matching transcripts to the correct student.

noteNote: Only those with administrator or user level access can create or make these changes. To learn more about educator access and permissions, read the article on Educator Permissions.

To match a transcript to a student:

  1. From your educator account, under Features, click College and select Document center.
