Unofficial Undergraduate Transcript
A self-service, informal academic record summary that can be viewed online
using BannerStudent
FAQ
- Where is the Unofficial Transcript menu item? The unofficial transcript is accessed using Bannerstudent, and is listed under "Academic Transcript (unofficial)" on the Undergraduate Student Main Menu.
- What is
the advantage of having an unofficial transcript in addition to the official
transcript that you can request through the Registrar’s Office? The unofficial transcript provides you with a
place to view your current GPA, all the courses you have taken, as well as
those for which you are currently registered just by logging into BannerStudent.
- When do
you use an unofficial transcript?
This is helpful for internal purposes, such as applying for an
internship, to show the types of courses you have taken to apply for a research
grant, or perhaps to show that you have met a minimum GPA requirement. It can be used to show proof of enrollment in
a future term when an unofficial document is acceptable. It can be helpful for advising purposes.
- How can I
use it when my employer or graduate school states that they require an official
transcript? If you have an approaching
deadline and an official transcript cannot be sent in time, you could send an
unofficial transcript and then request that an official transcript be sent by
the Registrar’s Office as a follow up.
For example during the grading period at the end of the term, no
official transcripts can be processed; however unofficial transcripts are
available 24/7.
- When is
an official transcript required?
Students request official transcripts through the Registrar’s Office
when applying to graduate school, for some employment opportunities, security
clearances, internships external to Dartmouth, and volunteer work (i.e. “Teach
for America”). You should request an
official transcript whenever you need to validate the courses you took as a
Dartmouth student, and to make a good impression by presenting a formal
document.
- What is the difference between what is on the
official transcript and the unofficial transcript? Both documents are accurate reflections
of your academic record however the information appears differently. The unofficial transcript is stamped “this is
not official” throughout and while it can be, it is not designed to be printed. The official transcript is printed on
security paper with the Dartmouth seal and the Registrar’s signature; it is
stamped “official,” citations earned are included, and it can be delivered on your
behalf to the 3rd party you have indicated.
- How about
PE credit? You may select the unofficial transcript with PE credit listed
or select an unofficial PE transcript showing only the PE credit. Please note
that the swim test requirement is not reflected on the unofficial transcript.
