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:
