The purpose of this page is to capture significant events and comments pertaining to a student's tenure at the institution.
Optionally, these entries may be printed on the student's official transcript. The events captured are coded values, the comments are free-form text. Events and level-specific comments are associated with a specific student level and are printed at the top of the transcript. Term-specific comments (which are also associated with a specific level) are printed along with the specific term's summary and detail information. Comments may be entered with an effective date in the future to avoid inclusion on the transcript before the time deemed appropriate by the requester. All event and comment information is identified with a specific originator and is informational only. The page will display all transcript events and comments no matter who the originator was. The student must have been added to the system through the General Person Identification (SPAIDEN) page.
This page also allows events to be associated with a non-course or allows events to be applied to a degree. This association may be a one-to-one or a one-to-many relationship. A one-to-many relationship example may be an oral exam in front of a thesis review committee which is a non-course requirement for the degree being awarded. The oral exam is maintained as an academic event on SHATCMT.
An event decision (such as passed or completed) or an event grade (alpha or numeric) may be entered for an event. Events, event decisions, and event grades may be printed on a student's academic transcript.
