Your Student’s Second Transcript

By Jill Burchell, Center for Student Involvement & Leadership

Have you ever wished that there was an official transcript, not only to display your student’s academic activities, but to display their extracurricular activities or involvement as well? At the University of Arizona, we have an answer. The Leadership & Involvement Transcript (LIT) is a co-curricular program allowing students access to a verified transcript of all out-of-class involvement.

Students use official copies of their LIT for graduate or professional school applications, scholarship applications, employment applications, or as an excellent supplement to any résumé. All of the information a student submits for their LIT must have a reference, and each reference is contacted for verification. This ensures the accuracy of all information found on the LIT.
