The Well-Rounded Student - Your Guide to Working with the Life Skills Transcript
The Student Life Transcript is an official record of students' out-of-classroom learning experiences and personal development. Advisors are the key to helping students understand the value of this document and how it works. Using the co-curricular transcript with your officers and club members is a wonderful tool for successful advisement, can enhance your relationships with your students and will provide them with official documentation of their skills and accomplishments for their transfer institution and future employment.
