What is a Co-Curricular Transcript?

Like an academic transcript, which documents the courses you took and the grades you received, the co-curricular transcript documents the activities you completed in college, and how those activities helped you become more qualified for jobs to which you might apply. The co-curricular transcript documents that the activities you place on your resume actually occurred.

So, just as your academic transcript documents your classes and grades, the co-curricular transcript documents your involvement in campus and community activities.

As part of the college experience, students can learn a great deal from their out-of-class experiences, and research shows that students involved in out-of-class activities are more positive about their college experience, more satisfied with their social life, living environment and academic major, and are more likely to graduate.

Recognized status, which is granted by the Clarion University Student Senate, allows student organizations to reserve space on campus for meetings and events, have a campus mailbox, conduct fundraising activities, have Clarion University Web space and e-mail address, among other privileges.
