Requesting Historical Scoring Reports

You can request historical scoring reports for one or multiple student(s) using TIDE’s file upload process. This task requires familiarity with spreadsheet applications and/or comma-separated value (CSV) files.

To request historical scoring reports:

1.From the Student Information task menu on the dashboard, select Student Data Request. The Student Data Request page appears.

2.To download a template file you will fill out, select Download Templates and then select CSV or Excel.

5.Review the information on the Preview page and do one of the following:

• If the information is inaccurate, select Cancel, edit the template file, and upload it again.
• If the information is accurate, select Next. The Validate page appears.

6.The Validate page shows errors or warnings associated with your upload file, if applicable. Errors mean the file will be uploaded, but the row with the error will not be included. Warnings mean the field is invalid, but the row will be uploaded. You can choose to continue with your upload despite any errors or warnings found, but some records may not be committed. You may also choose to revise your upload file to remove any errors or warnings found.

• To revise the file before uploading, select Upload Revised File, revise the file, and upload it again.
• If no errors or warnings were found or to continue with the upload despite any errors or warnings found, select Continue with Upload. The Confirmation page appears, indicating your file has been uploaded.
