Does the institution include community service achievements on student transcripts?:
A brief description of the practice:
CERTIFICATE IN COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND SERVICE-LEARNING
http://www.csl.ualberta.ca/en/Students/CertificateProgram
The Certificate in Community Engagement and Service-Learning is awarded to students that have integrated community service-learning (CSL) into their post-secondary education. The knowledge and experience gained through service-learning are applicable to a wide range of careers, including those in non-governmental organizations, the volunteer sector, business, government, and academia. Students in all undergraduate programs at UAlberta are eligible for the certificate which is noted in the official student transcript upon graduation. Students receiving the certificate must complete a number of CSL designated courses as well as an additional non-credit community service commitment.
CO-CURRICULAR RECORD
http://www.uofaweb.ualberta.ca/deanofstudents/CoCurricularRecord.cfm
A joint initiative of the University of Alberta and the Students’ Union, the Co-Curricular Record (CCR) provides students with official recognition for their on-campus volunteer work and involvement. The CCR is an institutionally recognized document supporting student engagement and student leadership involvement. The purpose of the CCR is to foster both an understanding of, and recognition for, the value of learning and development that occurs outside of the classroom. Students involved in campus volunteer work log their hours and involvement into an online database that is later verified by the student and staff leaders of related organizations. Once the validation is completed, the student receives a reusable electronic copy of their volunteer record signed by the Dean of Students as well as the President of the Students’ Union.
