Changes have been implemented to Banner's internal academic transcript page, the Office of the Registrar announced in a community-wide e-mail yesterday. The update fixes problems with the old online transcript, which displayed some unwanted records and omitted others, and which was not amenable to printing.
Programmers encountered technical difficulties earlier this month, but those issues were resolved quickly.
Most students interviewed last night said they had seen the e-mail and visited the new Banner site, but plenty said they continued to have issues with the Banner transcript, despite the changes.
"It's more clear-cut, but there are still discrepancies," said Sherrie Khadanga '09.
Michael Levy '10 said he had already sent an e-mail to Dean of the College Katherine Bergeron voicing his concerns about the new system. Levy said he was "very disappointed" by the update because the transcript now displays dropped courses.
"I drop courses at all different times," Levy said. Showing the dropped courses has "no purpose" and is "not functional," he said.
Levy also said his friends were concerned that the transcript did not display the grade of "S with distinction."
