Official Transcript
The official transcript contains all essential academic data, including dates of attendance, courses taken and passed, grades, transfer credits awarded, degree received, and relevant remarks. Academic status of Warning, Serious Warning, and Dismissal will be noted permanently on a student's transcript. The transcript must bear the college seal, be recently dated, and have the appropriate signature of Michael J. Pesta, University Registrar.

For students enrolled since September 1983, the Brown transcript is a single document presenting a cumulative record of all terms of enrollment in all schools (the College, the Graduate School, and the Medical School). A statement is added to all transcripts explaining the grading system and indicating that the student may elect to include other material with the official transcript. A student who wishes to have course performance reports sent out with a transcript should provide copies of all the material to be enclosed at the time he or she requests an official transcript. The student should choose this material in consultation with his or her advisor. The University will mail this material in one envelope along with the official transcript.
