About the Transcript Notation
Transcript notations allow you to get official College recognition of your internship. To get the notation, you will register through Banner. Throughout the course of your internship, you will complete a concurrent reflective component. This component includes 4 reflections spread over the semester or summer, a brief pre- and post-assessment, and periodic time sheets. All correspondence is done on Blackboard and the Career Center will support you throughout the experience.
