Grades and Transcripts

A transcript of students' records carries admission data, current status, a detailed statement of the scholastic record showing courses pursued with semester hours carried, semester hours earned, grades, grade points, and system of grading. All failures, incomplete grades and penalties such as probation, suspension or other restrictions are also indicated. No partial record is issued.
