HOME = Stevenson University’s Co-Curricular Transcript =

**What is a co-curricular transcript?**  A co-curricular transcript is designed to compliment a student’s official academic transcript, highlighting and documenting non-credit activities, experiences and learning done outside of the classroom.

** Why would students want one  ? ** Getting involved in activities outside of the classroom greatly enhances the college experience. Co-curricular activities teach leadership, communication, and teamwork skills – all skills important to today’s employers. Now there is a place where these activities are documented. The co-curricular transcript provides an inventory of college experiences and growth. It is useful for graduate school applications, scholarship and award applications, and employment.

**Why do I need to know about this? ** There are a few reasons: • Because the co-curricular transcript is new to Stevenson University, it is important that students be made aware of its existence and importance; • Because advisors will have access to their advisees’ co-curricular transcripts; and • Because you may be asked to provide student co-curricular information or sign a student’s form to add an activity to his/her transcript.

**What is included on the co-curricular transcript? ** * Please note: The co-curricular transcript program is beginning in the fall of 2009. Activities, clubs, awards, and other entries prior to the fall semester of 2009 will not be on the co-curricular transcript. The co-curricular transcript includes: -- Athletics -- Clubs and Organizations -- Honors, Awards and Recognition // -Honor Societies -Awards -Scholarships -Other special recognitions // -- Leadership Experiences -- Community Service -- Non-Credit Internships -- Professional Development

**How do activities and experiences get on the co-curricular transcript?**  The Office of Experiential Learning and Career Services will be entering a good deal of the information manually by collecting rosters from faculty and staff who sponsor honor societies; oversee departmental scholarships and awards; coordinate student professional development activities, etc. and inputting that data. Students may use a form located on WebXpress to have something added to their co-curricular transcript if an activity is missing.

Faculty and staff should use the online roster form at:http://apps.stevenson.edu/forms/careerhq/roster.cfm Fill in the student information electronically and hit submit! (If you don’t have student id numbers, just put in all zeros.) Alternatively, you can turn in a written sign in sheet or other record of student involvement to the Career Services / Learning Beyond department; or email the department with this information.

** How do students get their co-curricular transcript? ** Students can view and print their co-curricular transcript from WebXpress. The co-curricular transcript is in the Verifications and Transcripts section.

**Where can I get more information? ** If you have questions or need more information, please contact the co-curricular coordinator in Career Services at 443-352-4477. NEXT: Orientation Video
