How it works
The CCR (Co-curricular Record) helps students record and display the experience(s) needed to carry into their professional lives. The CCR includes numerous activities and positions ranging from volunteer service to professional development from on-campus and off-campus activities. The CCR tracks students’ extracurricular activities during their time at university, generating a certificate for students to use when looking for employment or applying to graduate school.
CCR groups activities into seven categories:
Student Leadership
Executive positions in student government, campus societies, or athletics, Residence Assistant or Don
Varsity Athletics Participation
Team member
Student Club/Society Involvement

Awards excluding Scholarships awarded by the university scholarship committee due to the fact that those scholarships will be documented on the Academic Transcript
