What to notice on a transcript and in an advising file:
Enrollment test scores (ACT/SAT/COMPASS) for placement in developmental courses
Transfer work.
Earned hours vs. attempted hours
Significant changes in GPA per semester
Classes that may be repeated for grade re-computation
Classes that must be repeated to graduate
Trends in types of classes a student is failing
Trends in types of classes in which a student is showing excellence
Incompletes
Current academic standing
Current class level
An abundance of coursework not linked to a degree. This may be the result of a number of situations and does not necessarily imply that a student has a faulty transcript.
