Co-Curricular Record Update

August 5, 2016 —

Hello Students,

In 2011, the University of Manitoba launched the Co-Curricular Record (CCR). The CCR is an official record of university-approved and facilitated activities that support student development in venues that are not for academic credit. Existing as a document that is separate from the Academic Transcript, the CCR is a clear statement of involvement in activities that support holistic student development.

Since 2011, students have been being recognized in one or more of the over 350 CCR approved programs. However, up until now, the onus was on each individual student to activate their CCR and therefore many students over the past 5 years were not recognized for their involvement.

By Fall 2016, the University of Manitoba will have integrated the CCR activation process with the current Claim I.D. process that all new students undergo. For students who are currently enrolled, we will automatically activate your accounts over summer 2016 so that moving forward you will receive recognition on your CCR when you participate in CCR approved activities.

Also, recently launched is the new CCR Stamp!

The CCR Stamp of Approval is a new resource available to staff and students to be used on promotional pieces. The CCR stamp quickly tells students that the promoted activity is a recognized and approved CCR activity and that participation with the activity will be reflected on a student’s official CCR. Downloadable here in full colour, brown or black!

Note: The CCR stamp of approval must adhere to the following guidelines:

Only permitted on promotional material of activities that have been approved by the CCR Review Committee
Stamp should be no smaller than 1 inch in diameter (including white release)
Stamp cannot be altered in any way aside from its size as outlined above (includes no overlay on the stamp)
Stamp should not be rotated further than 75 degrees

Your CCR is housed within https://communitylink.umanitoba.ca/ and you can log in using your UM Net ID and password.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to email kevin.oliver@umanitoba.ca
