„ What is the Academic Advisement Transcript (AAT)? The Academic Advisement Transcript (AAT) is a tool indicating what course requirements you have fulfilled and what course requirements you still need to complete. „ It also acts as an unofficial transcript and keeps a running total of your progress per term.

„ Accessing the AAT To access your AAT: „ Login to my.pitt.eduin PeopleSoft. „ Click on the Student Services tab at the top of the page. „ Click “Link to Student Center”in the middle of the page in the Student Toolbox. „ Click on Self Service in the menu on the left-hand side of the e.agp „ Click on Student Center „ Click on Degree Progress in the Academics Section at the top of the page. „ Choose University of Pittsburgh for “Academic Institution” and Academic Advisement Transcript for “Report Type.” „ Click the yellow “go”button.

Reviewing the AAT: Advanced Standing An Advanced Standing is an evaluation of your transcript(s) from an outside accredited institution. This evaluation indicates how many courses will transfer to CGS, and what requirements they will fulfill. At CGS, up to 90 credits from a four-year institution, or up to 60 credits from a two-year institution (total may not exceed 90 credits) may be applied to your degree, either to fulfill general education requirements or electives. For more information on Advanced Standing, check out the CGS Advising FAQs.

„ „ Reviewing the AAT: Advanced Standing Advanced Standing transfer credits will be listed at the top of your Advisement Transcript. If you went to more than one institution prior to attending Pitt, each school will be listed separately. The courses will appear in the form of Pitt courses:

„ Reviewing the AAT: Advanced Standing You’ll notice in the previous slide that some courses come in as “non-equivalent”and are denoted by “0000”just after the subject name. This means that you will receive credit for the course, but it may not fulfill a requirement, just an elective. This is left to the discretion of your academic advisor. It is always helpful to provide a syllabus and course description for a non-equivalent course to help the advisor decide if the course can be used to fulfill a requirement.

„ „ Reviewing the AAT: Unofficial Transcript The top portion of the transcript will show your name, PeopleSoft ID number, Academic Program History, Advanced Standing (transfer credits), and then your Undergraduate Record. Your Undergraduate Record lists all courses you’ve attempted since beginning at the University of Pittsburgh. „ All courses passed, failed, withdrawn, incomplete, or in-progress will be listed. „ All grades and quality points for CUM and TERM GPA
