New types of student records are emerging in higher education. While official academic transcripts are still very valuable and required in higher education institutions, these records are intended as a chronological record of student enrollment and related results, expressed in credits, grades and earned credentials (certificates, degrees), generally. New record types are focusing on learning, rather than course attempts. Some institutions will refer to these as learning outcomes and others as competencies. Comprehensive Learner Records (CLRs) are intended to reflect learning where and when it happens. This can be inside the classroom through traditional in-person experiences, online learning, co-curricular experiences, research projects, student employment, or other environments where learning is recognized by the college or university. American institutions interested in pursuing the development and implementation of these records are encouraged to complete this readiness assessment. The instrument, developed jointly by a team from the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) and NASPA – Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education, will be used to help respondents understand areas where they may be prepared to take on this work and areas where they may have much to do before they should consider CLRs.
