What is the Co-Curricular Record?

The Co-Curricular Record (CCR) is an official record of university-approved and facilitated activities that support student development in venues that are not for academic credit. Comparable to the academic transcript, the CCR is a as a clear statement of involvement in activities that support holistic student development.

The CCR is managed through the UMCommunityLINK portal. You can view, download, and print an unofficial copy of your CCR or request an official copy be printed through Student Life.

What is UMCommunityLINK?

UMCommunityLink is the online portal that manages the co-curricular process. The portal allows students, faculty, and staff to:

• View, download, and print an unofficial CCR
• Request a printed copy of an official CCR
• Explore co-curricular opportunities on campus
• Connect with the university community
• Promote opportunities and events
• Provide resources to activity participants (photos, documents, online forms, etc)

Please note: Only activities that have been reviewed and approved by the Co-Curricular Record Review Committee are able to create an organization, to promote events, recruit, etc.

What activities are approved on the CCR?

Activities can receive recognition under one of six categories: leadership, volunteerism & participation, service-learning, foundational skill development, awards and governance.

To view active co-curricular activities in which you can participate, explore the directory on UMCommunityLINK.

How to provide and receive CCR recognition:

CCR recognition is now managed through the new UMCommunityLINK Portal. The new portal creates an official Co-Curricular Record that exists off the transcript. The new official document provides greater detail about your activities, and follows best practices set out by North American institutions. More information about the portal will be released shortly. Several announcements and training sessions have been provided to facilitators of currently approved co-curricular activities.
