Internal Transcript Guide

This is a guide published to help academic advisors interpret the myriad of comments and notations that appear on the UC Davis internal transcript. The internal transcript is intended for internal and advising purposes only. It contains additional information that does not appear on the official and unofficial transcripts.

However, advisors may use and share the information in this guide to help students with their academic plans.
