Transcripts list your personal information, as recorded by the institution that generated the transcript. This will usually include your full name, address, contact information and Social Security number or some other form of government ID. A transcript also lists the date on which it was generated.
Transcripts also list your enrollment history, including grade received, credits earned, credits attempted and grade-point average. Classes are listed in chronological order, usually organized by enrollment semester or quarter. Transcripts may list your grade-point average for each quarter separately or cumulatively, but almost always include your total cumulative grade-point average. Transfer credits from other institutions are usually listed, although any given transcript only covers educational history at the institution that issued it.
Along with your enrollment history, transcripts include your degrees awarded, including the name of your major or concentration, the type of degree and the date your degree was earned. Transcripts may list this by semester, and may include information about honors and formal recognition received.
