A brief description of the practice of including community service on transcripts, if applicable:

Student Life and Campus Ministry/Service-Learning provide an unofficial co-curricular transcript. Their offices track student involvement in clubs, organizations, co-curricular service, and campus leadership, and all Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) submit their active club rosters each semester. This information is then manually entered into Colleague (the campus data system). Students access this unofficial transcript of their engagement via MyAQ-their online access point for student records.

Our Student Life departments also are working toward a co-curricular transcript as part of the official college transcript that includes community engagement. Our student records system has this capacity. Several models have been discussed, but we have not reached the point of having an official co-curricular transcript.


Does the institution provide incentives for employees to participate in community service (on- or off-campus)?:
No
