Viewing Your Academic Transcripts Using My Chemeketa
Your academic transcripts are available to view whenever our Student Information System is available (see the My Pipeline page for specific hours of availability).
Follow the steps listed below to view your academic transcript using My Chemeketa:
- Log in to My Chemeketa
- Click the School Services tab
- Click on the transcripts link under the Student Services & Financial Aid heading
- Select the transcript level, transcript type, and options and click the Submit button
Your academic transcript should be displayed. Transcripted items appear in chronological order, so the courses you completed earlier appear first and those you've just completed will appear at the end of the transcript.
Before displaying your transcript, you can make three additional choices about how it's formatted: displaying the institution's name, displaying your name, and displaying your student identification number. Click the appropriate checkbox to have each piece of information included when your transcript is displayed.
What the letter grades on your transcript mean
Each letter grade has a specific meaning attached to it. The current definitions of letter grades given at Chemeketa are listed below:
Grade
What It Means
A
Excellent. An indication that the student has met the stated outcomes and course criteria at the highest level, demonstrative mastery or required knowledge and skills.
B
Very Capable. An indication that the student has met the stated outcomes and course criteria at a high level, demonstrating mastery of most required knowledge and skills.
C
Competent. An indication that the student has met the stated outcomes and course criteria but with sufficient mastery of enough of the required knowledge and skills to be capable of success in other courses that require this course as a prerequisite.
D
Limited Success. An indication that the student has only minimally met the stated outcomes and criteria of the course but may not have sufficient mastery of enough of the required knowledge and skills to be capable of success in other courses that require this course as a prerequisite.
F
Failure. An indication that the student has not adequately met the stated outcomes and criteria of the course.
I
Incomplete. An indication that the quality of work is satisfactory, but some essential requirement of the course has not been completed and additional time is granted for completion of coursework. An "I" does not entitle a student to satisfy a prerequisite requirement for another course.
N
No Grade Assigned. The "N" grade is used when student participation in the course is minimal and does not warrant a grade. It may be used when the student's name is still on the final grade report and no other grade is possible. An "N" grade may not be assigned as a withdrawal or substitute for a failing grade.
P
Pass. Acceptable performance. A grade of "P" represents satisfactory achievement which would have been graded "C" or better on the regular grading scale, but is given instead of a letter grade. A maximum of eight "P" credits are allowed toward an associate's degree.
NP
No Pass. Unacceptable Performance. Does not satisfy requirements for entry into courses where prerequisites are specified.
PL
Pass. This grade is used to indicate satisfactory achievement of course outcomes and criteria for Credit for Prior Learning and Credit for Prior Certification.
X
Audit. This mark is used when a student participates in the course but does not wish to receive a grade or credit for the course.
R
Course Repeated. The "R" mark is used upon student request when a course taken at Chemeketa has been repeated and the student receives a higher grade in the repeated course. If a course is repeated more than once, only the original grade can be changed to an "R." This mark cannot be used to change "N" or "I" grades.
M
Missing Grade. This mark appears when an instructor neglects to enter a grade for the course. Students receiving an "M" should contact the instructor as soon as possible so that a grade change form can be submitted to Enrollment Services to correct the omitted grade.
Calculating GPAs (Grade Point Averages)
Your term grade point average is calculated by multiplying "quality points" for each course by the number of credit hours for that course. The results of that calculation are then added together and divided by the number of credits taken during that grading period.
Quality points are assigned as follows:
A = 4
B = 3
C = 2
D = 1
All other grades and marks carry no quality points
An example:
Receiving a C in a four-credit math course and an A in a three-credit writing course results in a GPA of 2.86.
((2 x 4) + (4 x 3)) / 7 = 2.857... (rounds to 2.86)
Cumulative grade point averages are computed in the same way using all courses in which a letter grade was earned.
Other Common Questions About Transcripts
How do I get an official copy of my transcript?
Official transcripts cannot currently be ordered online because there is a fee involved. To have an official transcript sent to another educational institution or employer, visit the Enrollment Center (Building 2 on Chemeketa's Salem Campus) or contact the Center at 503.399.5001.
Why can't I see my GPA on the transcript ?
Term GPAs (grade point averages) will only be displayed on a detailed transcript. If you opted to view a summary transcript, you won't see term-by-term GPA information, only your cumulative GPA.
What if there's a mistake on my transcript?
If you think there's an error in your transcript you should contact the Enrollment Center immediately so the problem can be appropriately researched. The Registrar's Office keeps extensive paper and digital records of all transactions and employees in that area are the only people who can make corrections to academic records. Contact the Enrollment Center at 503.399.5001 or visit them in person on the second floor of Building 2.
