Lab Hours 

Why does My Transcript on Transparent Language show less hours than I think it should? 
  • Possible Reason 1 – Dates in report do not match semester. Make sure you enter the beginning of the semester for the start date.
  • Possible Reason 2 – All languages are not included in the report.  Make sure you select “All Known Languages” and “All Learning Languages” when running your report
  • Possible Reason 3 – User changed screens/tabs or time was stopped for Inactivity. 

Note: Inactivity can occur if user is reading a large block of text without moving mouse for extended periods of time. 

When will my Transparent Language lab hours be sent to the professor?

Your professor will receive a report of your hours from the first 7 weeks at week 8 (Midterms week) and a report of the remaining 5 weeks during Finals week, for a total of 10 hours.
