TRACKING / LOCATING STUDENT CUM FOLDERS

  • Search for the student in Infinite Campus and eSIS 

  • Click on the student's 'Enrollments' tab and view their enrollment history; last school of enrollment and attendance dates

  • View attendance history to verify what school the student last attended


Note

The CUM folder should always be retained/digitized with the last Columbus City School of attendance. Students records should be maintained at the last school of attendance for at least one school year after the date of withdrawal. The purpose for this process; when a former student requests their transcripts they will remember the last school they attended, not where they were expected to attend / or enrolled for the following year.

  • To locate a CUM record for a student that last attended a school that is now closed, please refer to the Closed Schools Records Spreadsheet  

  • Request the record through Scribbles K-12

It is imperative that everyone look in their files when they receive the missing CUM list and notify the Division of the Registrar if records are located.
