Co-Curricular Record

Get yourself recognized

What is the Co-Curricular Record?

Dalhousie’s Co-Curricular Record (CCR) is an official document from Dalhousie that will recognize your accomplishments and the experiential learning that occurs outside of the classroom, including campus-life and community engagement, volunteer and service leadership and awards for exemplary contributions.

Accomplishments

The CCR will acknowledge accomplishments that:

• Relate directly to a student’s experience while at Dalhousie University
• Encourage and support student growth and development
• Contribute to the life, atmosphere and culture of the university
• Promote new learning opportunities for students to complement their overall experience

Categories

The CCR will be organized in the following five categories:

1. Leadership (student held positions)
2. Campus and community engagement
3. Course-related service learning or experiential learning
4. Training and development
5. Awards and recognition

For more information on categories and what is included, please see our CCR Inclusion Guide [PDF].

Grandfathering

The CCR will acknowledge accomplishments that meet the criteria set out in the guidelines above for the 2011–12 academic year onward.

Since each activity or accomplishment requires validation at the time of its completion, it can be difficult to validate activities or accomplishments from previous years.  The CCR program strives to be inclusive and fair to all students, therefore it will not be implemented retroactively.

Students can contact staff in the Dalhousie Career Services Centre for advice on how to capture activities and accomplishments occurring prior to 2011–12 within a resume, apply for jobs and/or post-graduate programs.
