What is a Co-Curricular Record?
The Co-Curricular Record (CCR) is a great resource for Algonquin College students to track, record, and print a record of their college-affiliated volunteer and leadership involvement. A Co-Curricular Record is an official non-academic record used to chronicle the activities that students engage in throughout the academic year. Not only will this document be complementary to an academic transcript, but to a resume as well. The transferable skills obtained from volunteering at Algonquin College can contribute to increased employability!
