As you approach graduation, we celebrate the commitment and teamwork that have shaped your interprofessional education experience. Your effort and engagement have prepared you to lead in collaborative healthcare.  Now you can showcase that accomplishment with your IPE transcript notation and graduation cords.

To provide a mechanism for recognition upon completion of a substantial portion of the interdisciplinary coursework, students will be eligible to earn transcript notation. The requirements to receive the notation vary by program. Notations will automatically be added during the students graduation term.
