Policy Statement

ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ is committed to holistic student development, which includes fostering civic responsibility, engagement, and volunteerism among ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ students. As part of this commitment, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ offers students opportunities to participate in co-curricular activities and acknowledges participation on the students' Co-Curricular Record (CCR). Activities considered for CCR eligibility include but are not limited to workshops and training, committee participation, club and society involvement, volunteering, and community development opportunities.

Scope

Definitions

ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ maintains a glossary of terms specific to the institution. The ones in use for this document are defined below.

Approved Co-Curricular Experience
Any programming experience that is not a requirement, component, or ‘expectation’ of the classroom experience or program design and meets the criteria that has been established for inclusion in ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s CCR.

An official document that profiles a student’s involvement in specifically identified/recognized co-curricular campus activities.

Policy

  1. ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ requires an accurate record that reflects a student's co-curricular achievement during the time in which they are registered at the College.
  2. ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ's CCR is a document, complementary to a student's academic transcript, that recognizes and records learning that a student has achieved through approved co-curricular programming experiences at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ. The CCR supports the student experience and career trajectory by:
    1. Demonstrating investment in personal and professional growth
    2. Showing the ways students seek out opportunities for meaningful involvement
    3. Developing competencies that will support personal and professional growth
    4. Helping articulate learning experiences when applying to jobs, co-op positions, volunteer roles, scholarships, or any other instances where a student may need to demonstrate skills and knowledge gained outside of their academic program
  3. The Co-Curricular Record is to be awarded to a student in recognition of achievement as detailed in the Co-Curricular Recognition Procedure.
