Viewing the Unofficial Transcript
Before You Begin...
The unofficial transcript provides a record of a student’s academic history at the University, including any test or transfer credit a student might have brought into the University. The unofficial transcript provides a semester by semester history of classes a student was enrolled in, as well as GPAs and credits earned.
The unofficial transcript also displays academic standing, semester/university honors, majors, minors, or certificates declared by the student. Once a student graduates, degrees awarded will also be displayed.
It is important to note that the unofficial transcript should not be used in place of the interactive degree audit when reviewing a student’s progress towards degree completion.

SA Tip
If a student repeats a non-repeatable course, only the course with the highest grade will be used in the calculation of the cumulative GPA; however, all grades earned remain on the permanent record
