Texas State offers a service to students to help them have a competitive edge. It's called i-CAT. And, as Claudia Hernandez tells us in this Bobcat Update, the service is useful when students apply for jobs or scholarships:
i-CAT -- which stands for Individualized Co-Curricular Activity Transcript -- is used to document student experiences outside the classroom. Such experiences may include athletics, events, community service, scholarships and honors.

The i-CAT record can be used to show employers or graduate schools something about students other than their grades.

Some believe that the university can do a better job of informing students about this co-curricular transcript.

The i-CAT service can be found online. Go to the Texas State website and search for i-Cat. For Bobcat Update, I'm Claudia Hernandez.
