How can I get started on my co-curricular transcript?
We know you’re a busy college student, so we’ve made it easy for you! Just follow
these simple steps:
1) GET INVOLVEDin a co-curricular activity at TSTC. Get the most of your
education by participating in the tons of activities and leadership
opportunities TSTC has to offer outside of the classroom!
2) WRITE IT DOWN by printing the Co-Curricular Validation Form. One activity
per category is allowed on each form. To add more activities, just use
another form!
3) PROVE IT by getting an official validation signature for each category. This
just means someone who witnessed your participation must sign under the
activity. The validator must be a person who serves in an official capacity,
such as the presenter or facilitator of the workshop, Director of a non-profit
organization where you volunteered, the Advisor of your student club, the
presenter of an award/honor you received, or the supervisor of Internship/Co-
op.
4) SUBMIT IT within one month of the activity to the Office of Student
Development located in the Student Center, room 139. Your information will
be entered in the system. Allow 2 weeks for data to be entered.
5) ASK FOR IT at the Office of Admissions or print an unofficial copy through
your WebAdvisor account.
Once I submit my validation form, how quickly will it post to my co-
curricular transcript?

Activities conducted prior to Fall2009 may be submitted at any time, provided the
validation form is complete and contains appropriate signatures. All co-curricular
activities conducted within or after Fall 2009 must be submitted within one month
of the activity.

organization or participated in an activity.
What if I held more than one leadership position in an organization?

organization.
