Student Record

Your Student Record, sometimes referred to as an unofficial transcript, contains information about your enrollment and courses at UW–Madison:

  • your courses, majors, certificates, and degrees
  • grades, credits, and total GPA
  • changes in your academics, like dropped classes or grade changes
  • Dean’s List or similar awards
  • notes from dean’s offices and advisors
  • dates of your enrollment at UW–Madison

Your Student Record is different from your official transcript because it includes details like dean’s office notes, which are not part of the transcript. The transcript is printed on security paper or encrypted as a secure PDF so other organizations can trust that it is authentic. The Student Record is a plain PDF that you can easily get yourself, when you  need a summary of your academic history at UW–Madison.
