Mohawk’s Co-Curricular Record (CCR) is a new program that allows students to showcase the abilities and skills they have gained through their co-curricular activities. Additionally, it can allow students to discover the many involvement opportunities offered across all campuses. The Co-Curricular Record is a way for students to formally document all of their non-academic, student engagement and leadership involvement in a validated format.
As the CCR is an authenticated record of volunteer and leadership involvement, it is complimentary to the academic transcript and resume. The transferable skills gained through this involvement are qualified by achievement statements, which are tied to the institutional learning outcomes. It can be used to supplement applications for scholarships, bursaries and graduate programs to highlight your complete college experience.
Does the institution provide incentives for employees to participate in community service (on- or off-campus)?:
