ATLANTA - Gainesville College is the recipient of one of nine "Best Practices" awards from the state Board of Regents this year.

The school placed second in the Student Services category for its "Co-Curricular Transcript" program to compliment a student's academic transcripts. The new transcript "tracks and records student involvement in ten different categories of college activities, focusing on a student's development, such as community service, cultural /fine arts enrichment, health and physical development, critical thinking skills and leadership development."

"...the University System of Georgia's 'Best Practices' program continues to recognize and reward innovative and efficient programs and business models," said University System Chancellor Thomas Meredith.
