Recommended: That, effective September 1, 1999, the policy on Academic Transcripts be revised to add post-1993 information on scholarships, awards, fellowships, prizes and medals.
Academic Transcripts (S.96-85, Sen.Ag. June 19/98)
A transcript is a copy of a student's permanent academic record at this University, duly certified by the Registrar and bearing the embossed seal of the University. A transcript is privileged information and is available only upon the written request and payment of the fee in effect at the time by the student.
A transcript is required as one of the supporting documents for application to another university, graduate school, fellowship and scholarship applications, and is commonly required by prospective employers.
The transcript is a record of a student's academic progress. It contains the following information:
1. A listing of all courses attempted and the grades achieved, including courses from which a student has withdrawn without academic penalty.
2. A statement of the degree attained, including the area of concentration or Honors discipline and date of graduation.
3. Comments relating to a student's academic progress. These may include statements about a student's standing in a program (e.g., on Dean's Honor List), or that the student was required to withdraw from the University or was placed on academic probation (e.g., for failing to meet progression requirements).
4. A listing of all scholarships, awards, prizes, fellowships and medals awarded by the University to the student during the student's academic career at the University.
Note that a transcript reflects the current status of a student's record at the time it is issued. Students should ensure that any changes to the transcript (e.g. from an INC to a final grade) are recorded before ordering a transcript.
A student may submit a written request for a partial transcript restricted to marks and grades leading to a specific undergraduate degree in Business, Dentistry, Education, Engineering Science, Law, Medicine, Nursing, Physical Therapy or leading to any graduate degree. Such transcripts shall be identified as partial.
Transcript order forms are available from Information Services, Registrar's Office, Stevenson-Lawson 190*. Official transcripts are mailed by the Registrar's Office to institutions designated by the student. Each transcript costs $x. Same-day transcripts are available at a cost of $x each.
* All transcript transactions in Room 190 require valid identification.
[Note: Actual transcript costs subject to change by the Board of Governors and are not listed as part of this policy. For current charges, please contact the Office of the Registrar.]
