Graduate Special Topics or Teach Camp Courses -  Instructions for Participants

Overview:

The information below is for participants who have registered and completed a graduate-level special topics, teach camp, or special rate course with DSU for college credit. It will provide information on how to view final grades, view academic history (unofficial transcript), submit a legal name change, and request an official transcript. 

If you took the special topics course(s) for CEU credit, you will need to contact the instructor of the course or the college department administrative support staff to receive your certificate.

Before You Begin:

Participants who have an active university account with DSU or any SDBOR university, can go to Step 1 to view their unofficial transcript in the Self-Service system.  

  • If you have a DSU account and do not remember the password, please complete the Password or DUO Reset form to request a verification code. 

  • If you are unsure if you have a SDBOR university account, please submit a request to DSU’s Support Desk and they can assist you with this information. 

  • If you do not have an active DSU or SDBOR account, you will receive a Welcome email, and you must set up the account before the course ends.

Note: All SDBOR student accounts are required to enroll in Multi-Factor Authentication (DUO) - you can find instructions on how to download and install DUO here.

 

Instructions:

STEP 1: View Final Grades/Course History/Academic History


To view your final grade in the FREE Banner Self Service system, you MUST have an active DSU or SDBOR account. Unofficial transcripts will not be issued directly from the DSU Registrar's office.

  1.  Go to Banner Self Service - Linked Here

  2.  Select the four-square drop down menu in the upper left corner

    This is a visual aid to locate the Banner menu option in Self Service

  3.  Navigate by selecting the following sequence of nested menus: Banner > Student Links > My Academic Information > Academic History - Courses & Grades

  4. To print a copy of this page from your web browser press Ctrl+P.  Choose your printer.​​​​​

Step 2: Legal Name Confirmation 

  • Confirm your legal name is correctly listed in the Banner Self Service system prior to requesting an official transcript. 

    • If your legal name needs to be updated, complete the Name Change form linked here. You will be required to provide appropriate documentation of the requested legal name change. You will be notified when your name change update has been made and can request your transcript to reflect this update. If you do not know your student ID, enter “123456” in the ID field on the form. 

Step 3: Request Official Transcript

  • Official Transcripts can be ordered through Parchment at this link. 

    • Beginning July 22nd, 2021, all students will need to create a new account with Parchment. Parchment prefers you use a personal email address rather than a Trojans or K12 email when creating your Parchment account. ​​​​​​

  • To submit your official transcript to the South Dakota Department of Education for certification or renewal you can send it electronically or by mail: 

    • Send your official electronic transcript via Parchment directly to certification@state.sd.us 

    • Mail official transcript to SD DOE - Certification, 800 Governors Dr, Pierre, SD 57501 

  • Additional FAQs and resources can be found on the DSU Transcripts webpage.

Troubleshooting:

If you have questions pertaining to your academic record, please submit your questions to the Registrar's Office here 

Not sure who your primary SDBOR university may be?  Give DSU ITS Support a call (605-256-5675) during scheduled business hours or submit a quick ticket request.
