This edition of the Guide offers updated guidance for the inclusion and use of 59 database and transcript components, as well as discussions on how current practices and advice are evolving.

In addition, up-to-date advice is provided for contemporary issues such as:

-Notation of academic and disciplinary actions on the transcript
-Recording of co- and extra-curricular activities on an extended transcript
-Prior learning assessment
-Recording of chosen names and pronouns
-Requirements for change of name and gender
