Adding Transcripts to Symplicity

Question:
Hi Dean Kinsey~
Happy New Year!
I have a quick question--how do I upload a transcript to Symplicity? I cannot for the life of me figure it out! :)

Thanks!!

Answer:
The answer is not obvious. You'd have to check the Career Services Handbook (the purple book) to know, or our web site. The security encoding for the UALR's transcript paper makes an actual transcript on that paper way too big to upload into Symplicity. For that reason, you must cut and paste your grades from BOSS into a simple Word document. We call it a Grade Sheet. Be sure to clean it up by deleting all the extraneous coding, etc. (That actually looks really bad and is distracting when employers try to read your grade sheet). You can then save this "Grade Sheet" to Symplicity just like you upload your resume.

Let me know if you have other questions about this. This and other answers to other questions asked in the future will be posted to the Career Services blogspot at http://bowencareerservices.blogspot.com/.
