This study aims to answer the question: How have co-curricular transcript programs developed in the last 20 years? Based on the literature dating back to the late 1970's and the results of the current study, this paper will use the following definition of co-curricular transcript programs: A co-curricular transcript program is a system designed to increase intentional involvement among students, and produces a document of their involvement in activities outside of curricular requirements. These programs are coordinated by institutions of higher education as an affirmation of the value of co-curricular engagement with the goals of assisting students in making strategic decisions with their involvement, and achieving their post-graduation goals. While there are multiple avenues to addressing the topic of co-curricular transcripts, this study looked at the history and development of these programs starting with their conception in 1977, and ending today in 2015. Co-curricular transcript programs have the potential to help increase student engagement, and this study is a aims to highlight the opportunities and challenges that exist with these programs.
