Graduation

Transcript Notation

Transcripts

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.

Learner participation will be tracked by the Office of Interdisciplinary Programs and reported to learner's enrolled college at the end of the spring semester. Questions can be sent to the Office of Interdisciplinary Programs at OUHSC-IPE@ouhsc.edu.
