The Saint Mary’s Co-Curricular Record (CCR) program has helped thousands of students connect with, track and validate co-curricular experiences including on- and off-campus volunteering, professional and personal development, leadership, student societies, awards and certificates, and sports and recreational opportunities.
Through the CCR program, students track hours, complete reflections and identify competency development using the university’s Career360° platform. Students use the record during their job search process or for further education or scholarship applications.
As the world of co-curricular and experiential learning evolves, Saint Mary’s University is transitioning from the former Co-Curricular Record model to our new Experience Record model. The Experience Record is a comprehensive document that summarizes a student’s involvement in curricular and co-curricular experiential learning at Saint Mary’s University. “Co-Curricular Record” is now defined as “Co-Curricular Recognition”, and all co-curricular programming will remain the same. Verified Co-Curricular Recognized (CCR) experiences will be documented on the Experience Record.
Some experiences will be automatically populated on a student’s Experience Record through Career360°, while others are submitted via the Co-Curricular Recognition (CCR) Program. The Experience Record includes verified experiences: Co-Curricular Recognized activities, Service Learning, Co-operative Education, Student Employment Initiative, Events/Workshops, Micro Experiential Learning, and more.
The new Experience Record model allows students to publish and sync their Experience Record to their LinkedIn profile in the Licenses and Certifications section. They can also access a URL link to the Record, which can be added to their cover letter or resumé.
