Overview
The UC ELC Transcript Extract program allows a School to extract data from Aeries Client Version
that includes student history and demographic information. This information is then sent as electronic
transcripts for the University of California Eligibility in the Local Context program.
This program determines the top students in the junior class based upon the cumulative GPA and
class rank. Then it creates an electronic transcript file for the corresponding students. NOTE - these
students must have parental authorization to be added to this file.
NOTE:
 The Authentication Key is no longer a required field.
 A College Board code or ATP code must be assigned to your school
 It is suggested that you review this year’s UC Record Layout and verify required data
prior to creating the file
 Parental Authorization MUST be received and flagged in a field in STU or SUP prior to
generating the UC ELC extract
 State Standard 3-character ethnicity codes MUST be used
 Verify ALL schools used in Course History are set up in the Course History Institutions
form (CHI table)
 Verify final spring grades have been rolled into history
 If College Entrance Test scores are sent correct test codes MUST be set up and
loaded into the College Entrance Tests form
 Recalculate the Cumulative GPA’s and class rankings prior to creating the extract
 Set up correct UC term codes on the UC ELC form
 Use a KEEP statement in Query for students not to be included in this process, such as
special ed
 After the file is created copy the file to BACKUP
 An ID and password are required to access UC’s software from the UC Assistant Director
Undergraduate Admissions
 Download a copy of the Student_File_Template.xls from the ELC Submission Portal

Configure the Create UC Data Files Form
From View All Forms double click the mouse on the Create UC ELC Extract option.
The Create UC Data Files form shown below will display. This form has been created to enter the
data required by UC that is not stored within the Aeries database
The data on this form will be extracted by the program along with additional data from various tables
and will be used to create an export data file. It is crucial that the Recompute GPA / Ranks is
processed from this form prior to creating the temporary table.
There are four UC extracts available:

ELC – Eligibility in the Local Context is extracted every June or July for 11th grade students.

TES – Transcript Evaluation Service extracts transcripts for all students. The UCOP evaluates the
transcripts and gives a preparedness (or readiness) report back to the school.

FN – Final Data Extract extracts transcripts for all 12th grade graduates. The UCOP disseminates
this information to the various UC campuses for students who will be attending those campuses.

Student Contact Data (.xls) – Student demographic data of top 15% of 11th grade students.
UCOP uses this data to generate letters to students.
Differences between the TES and FN extracts:




TES includes Work in Progress, FN does not
TES will extract Expected Graduation Dates if a student has not yet graduated, FN only extracts
ACTUAL graduation dates
TES includes only active students, FN will include inactive students
TES will include any student 9th grade and above (unless a Query KEEP limits that further), FN is
only 12th graders
After the desired extract is selected the Create UC Data Files form will change to display the fields
required for that extract.
