(a) Student transcripts shall contain a record of each state funded course attempted by a student at the transcripting institution after January 1, 1998. This includes all courses for which the student was enrolled as of the official census date each term, including developmental education courses, courses that were not completed, courses that were dropped, and courses that were repeated.
