Revised: July 1, 2016
1. | The presence of binary zeroes in data fields causes significant problems for several institutions in the receipt of student records. A transaction will be rejected if non-displayable characters are sent in the data unless found in Filler Reserved for Local Use. Please use some other appropriate character (e.g., SPACES) with which to initialize your records before sending them. |
2. | Items 20 and 21, although not required, are all fields which can be used in the translation of the FASTER format to the SPEEDE format. If your institution can supply any or all of these fields, the SPEEDE transcript produced from the translation will be more complete. Also, when receiving a transcript from a SPEEDE institution, these fields may supply you with information useful in admissions and placement. |
3. | Special characters, tilde (~), caret (^), and grave accent (`), are used as delimiters in the translation of FASTER to SPEEDE/ExPRESS. They are reserved symbols and as such cannot be included in data sent through FASTER to a SPEEDE/ExPRESS institution. |
4. | The original intent of this format was for use in transmitting Academic History Transcripts. Starting July 1, 2012, this format can also be used to transmit "Enrollment" records to financial aid offices of the Florida State College System and the Florida State University System. In those instances, it is to be used in association with the response Message Type Codes of 'S30', 'S31', and 'S32'. |
