Co-Curricular Record
The Co-Curricular Record (CCR) is an official record of university-approved and facilitated activities students have been involved in. It helps students find opportunities to learn outside of the classroom and then capture those activities, and the learning outcomes derived from them, on an official document that they can use in furthering their employment and educational goals.
Engagement and student life
Being involved in campus life and having positive social networks is often what keeps students committed to their academic goals, even through tough times when they may feel like quitting.
