How do I submit my official transcript(s) or service record(s)?

Once the hiring process is complete and you are an active employee of the district, please submit your official transcript(s) or service record(s) to Human Resources via OneSource Employee Self-Service.

After obtaining your official transcript(s) or service record(s), ensure they are accurate, and then upload them using the following steps:

How to Submit Documents via OneSource:

PREVIOUS WORK EXPERIENCE

NON-INSTRUCTIONAL: VERIFICATION OF EMPLOYMENT LETTER

Salary placement based on prior work experience requires both relevant and verifiable experience. Submit a letter on company letterhead with:

  • Company contact information
  • Date of hire
  • Full or part-time status
  • Exempt or Non-Exempt status
  • Position(s) held with start/end dates of employment

Employees have 30 business days from the date of hire to document prior experience. Submit to the Compensation Team via OneSource, email servicerecords@houstonisd.org, or in person.

INSTRUCTIONAL: SERVICE RECORD

Submit an original teacher service record or equivalent document to verify teaching service years claimed for salary purposes. If employment was at the college or university level, both the Teacher Experience Report and College Verification form are required.

Review all information for accuracy before submission.

It is the employee's responsibility to turn in all required documents during or within 30 days of the pre-hire session!
