Transcript Audit Results

DeVry University 8488 Georgia St Merriville, IN 46410

In consultation with AACRAO publications, sample transcripts were reviewed against best practices. Given the time span of student records for some institutions, recommendations focus on most current samples provide. Outcomes of this review are summarized below.

Transcript Components Summary Essential Missing Transcript Components:

• Institution website and email address • Institutional Policies (as applicable): courses attempted, withdrawals, repeated courses,

academic forgiveness/bankruptcy, eligibility to re-enroll • Statement against alteration or forgery and FERPA disclosure statement • Unable to determine:

o Method of certification as an official transcript (embedded security features in paper used, embossed seal, etc.)

o Not part of review, but of note – method of certification as an official transcript (security used for electronic transcripts)

Transcript Component Recommendations:

DeVry University has done a great job with meeting most of the transcript components in accordance with best practices. A few added components, as noted above, would only improve this legend. A FERPA disclosure and statement against alteration or forgery should be added if it is not part of the secure paper. An additional suggestion would be to add information on locating the academic catalog.

Records Management and Retention

Adequacy of archived transcripts: • Electronically stored in Banner and utilized FormFusion by eVisions to format the

transcript output; which is hosted and backed up by the vendor, Ellucian, in Amazon Web Services-AWS

Ability for BPE to retrieve transcripts in electronic format for continued consumption by student, in event of institutional closure:

• Based on review of samples and information provided, ability exists

Suggested strategies to cost-effectively digitize legacy paper student transcripts: • All transcripts are already housed electronically (Banner)

Records Management and Retention Recommendations:

Continue to keep all student records electronically and backed up utilizing cloud applications. Off-site backup ensures recovery of records if a local disaster destroys on-side records.

To ensure business continuity, from disaster recovery to institutional closure, ensure computer applications and secure transcript paper/institutional seal can be replaced in a timely manner. It is critical institutions maintain current standard operating procedures. SOP’s need to be available electronically and should be backed up for recovery off-site. If dealing with an institutional closure, there must be a protocol for whom will be acting as the signatory for the official record.

Supplementary Graduate Transcript InformationSupplementary Graduate Transcript Information

AccreditationDeVry University is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the NorthCentral Association of Colleges and Schools, www.ncahlc.org. The University's Keller GraduateSchool of Management is included in this accreditation.

Founded as an independent graduate school, Keller Graduate School of Management maintained aseparate accreditation with NCA and awarded degrees through June 2002. In February 2002, NCAapproved the merger of Keller and DeVry Institutes to form DeVry University. In New York, Keller andDeVry operated separately as Keller Graduate School of Management and DeVry Institute ofTechnology until April 2008 when the two institutions merged to form DeVry College of New York.

Grading System and Grade Point AveragesGrade point averages (GPAs) are calculated for all students and are based on the following 4.0 scale.Grades of A+, F+, and F- are not used. Designators do not have associated quality points and areexcluded from GPAs. When issued for courses that are graduation requirements, the designator of Srepresents credit earned toward graduation.

Grades Quality PointsA Superior 4.00A- 3.70B+ Good 3.30B 3.00B- 2.70C+ Satisfactory 2.30C 2.00C- 1.70D+ Met minimum standards 1.30D 1.00D- 0.70F Failed to meet minimum standards 0.00

Designator DefinitionAU AuditEX ExemptionI IncompleteIP In ProgressS Satisfactory (equivalent to a grade of B or better)U UnsatisfactoryW WithdrawalWAV WaiverCWA Course WaiverAdditionally, designators beginning with the letter T represent transfer credit. The TNC designatorindicates that no credit was given.

An asterisk (*) following the grade indicates that this course is not included in GPA calculations; thesecourses include prerequisite skills and ESL courses. Grades of C and D are not assigned in certainprerequisite skills, ESL and advanced courses. In these courses, a grade of F is assigned for work below80 percent. A grade of D is not assigned in certain other such courses, where a grade of F is assignedfor work below 70 percent. Course descriptions denote such grading configurations.

A designator of W indicates the student withdrew from the course within the approved time period.Withdrawal after the approved time period may result in an assigned grade of F or designator of U, asappropriate. An “Incomplete” is converted to a final grade of F or designator of U, as appropriate, ifthe requirements of the course are not satisfied by the student within the approved time period.Courses for which no grade was entered by the professor do not show a grade. Missing grades andincompletes must be resolved prior to graduation.

Transfer Credit, Exemptions and WaiversIn general, external transfer credit may be awarded for equivalent coursework completed with a gradeof B or better at another accredited institution. Exemptions and waivers are awarded for eligiblestudents and indicate the student's mastery of the course material. Transfer credit, exemptions, andwaivers may satisfy graduation requirements and may be included in attempted and earned credithours but are not included in grade point averages. Transfer credit, exemptions, and waivers listed donot imply that all credit hours count toward the student's program of study.

Repeated CoursesThe R column indicates if the course has been repeated and will include either a capital E for thosecourses that have been excluded from the CGPA or a capital I for those courses that have beenincluded in the CGPA.

Effective September 2006, the highest grade is used to determine the CGPA when courses have beenrepeated. For elective course requirements and course area options, students may substitute adifferent course in lieu of repeating a particular course to meet the requirement. These substitutionsare not marked as repeated courses and both courses are included in GPA calculations.

Academic SystemDeVry University offers courses in six 8-week sessions each year. All credit hours are semester-credithours. Most courses are assessed as three semester-credit hours unless otherwise noted. Final gradesare posted at the end of each session. Academic honors and academic standing are calculated at thecompletion of the student's semester only. Academic standing is not noted on this transcript. At thepoint of award conferral, a CGPA and program GPA will be displayed on the transcript. Non-degree-seeking students may enroll in selected courses without being admitted to a specific program. Thedisplay of three sessions of coursework within one semester on the transcript represents a change instatus from non-matriculating to matriculating within the same semester.

Prior to July 2003, Keller operated on a quarter system. Courses were taught in five 10-week terms peryear, and were associated with four quarter-credit hours unless otherwise noted. At the transition,neither the course numbers nor the courses required for graduation changed. However, starting inJuly 2003, CGPAs are calculated using the semester-credit value for each course. Additional semester-based academic statistics may include attempted credit hours and earned credit hours (Ehrs).

In July 2012, DeVry University changed student information systems. For students who attendedprior to July 2012, the CGPA was based solely on the courses applicable toward graduation in thecurrent program of study. Beginning July 2012, the CGPA for continuing students was recalculatedand is the overall GPA including all courses the student attempted at the graduate-level at DeVryUniversity. Transcripts for students who graduated prior to July 2012 and have not returned includean unconverted CGPA. Transcripts for students who graduated prior to July 2012 and have returnedfor additional study include the unconverted conferral CGPA as determined at the time of theconferral and a current CGPA that includes all coursework the student has attempted at DeVryUniversity. A previous grandfather provision allowed certain continuing students to retain the CGPAcalculated under the previous policy if the recalculated CGPA resulted in the student not meetingminimum requirements for graduation. This grandfather provision was in effect beginning with theJuly 2012 session through the end of the January 2013 session. Additionally, academic honors for allstudents graduating from July 2012 through the end of the January 2013 session are based upon thehigher GPA (program or cumulative).

Course NumberingCourses numbered below 500 as well as courses designated with an asterisk are prerequisite skills orESL courses and are excluded from GPAs. Other courses numbered 500-599 are either required orelective courses, depending on the particular degree program. Courses numbered 600-699 arecapstone courses or advanced seminars.

Graduation with DistinctionGraduation with Distinction is reserved for degree students having a conferral CGPA of 3.7 or higher.Prior to September 2006 a separately-calculated CGPA was used to determine eligibility forDistinction. Prior to September 1998, Distinction was awarded to students with a CGPA of 3.5 orhigher.

Historical InformationCourse Designators Prior to July 2012In July 2012, several course designators were changed; the course designators that appear on thetranscript reflect the course designators in effect at the time the student took the course.

Grading Systems Prior to 2003From 1973 through 1979, students were evaluated using several configurations of grades,designators and credit hours. The following designators may also be associated with courses takenprior to 2003.

CALENDAR AND CREDIT UNITSDeVry delivers courses in a session format, with two eight-week sessions offered each semester. All credit hoursare semester-credit hours. Final grades are posted at the end of each session. Academic honors and academicstanding are calculated at the completion of the student's semester/student-centric period only. Academic standingis not noted on this transcript.

Rev. May 2016

ACADEMIC STATISTICSThe grade point average (GPA) is computed by dividing the quality points earned by the number of GPACredit Hours for which a final grade has been recorded (excludes designators) for all DeVry coursesattempted. Three GPAs are maintained on student records. The term GPA (TGPA) is calculated at the endof each session. The semester GPA (SGPA) is calculated at the end of the semester/student-centric periodand represents the GPA for work completed in a given semester only. A student's overall academic standingis stated in terms of a cumulative GPA (CGPA), which is calculated at the end of each session and is basedon all grades and credit hours earned to date as a DeVry University undergraduate student.

Additional statistics include attempted credit hours and earned credit hours (Ehrs). All courseworkattempted at DeVry appears on the transcript. In general, for courses attempted more than once, the bestgrade is included in the CGPA. At the point of award conferral, a CGPA and program GPA are displayed onthe transcript. The display of three sessions of coursework within one semester on the transcript representsa change in status from non-matriculating to matriculating within the same semester. Non-degree-seekingstudents may enroll in selected courses without being admitted to a specific program.
