TSDL/CVR

NOTE: THIS IS NO LONGER THE EAGLE UPLOAD AS OF 2015. Go to DRC E-Direct Export

The TSDL/CVR/EOC program serves two purposes:

(1) Create EOC files for the state EOC testing system (www.louisianaeoc.org)

(2) Create TSDL/CVR files for the state TSDL system.

The primary difference between the two is the use of the setting Show only courses with final weight. When this is selected, the system assumes that an EOC file is being created, and only EOC courses that have a final weight in the course catalog will be submitted. When the setting is not selected, the system assumes a TSDL file is being created, and all selected courses are included in the TSDL file.

How-to

In the left navigation panel, go to Student Master, Interfaces, then TSDL/CVR.
