Co-curricular Record
The co-curricular record is an online documentation tool designed to help you record your non-academic activities. Employers and graduate schools seek evidence of a broad education, both inside and outside the classroom, such as leadership, volunteerism and campus involvement.
The co-curricular record will greatly enhance your ability to convey those outside the classroom activities that contributed to your education, professional development, and readiness for the work force and grad school. In addition, your co-curricular record will be a great resource for writing resumes, online profiles and presentation portfolios as well as offer interview examples. When updated consistently, it can help you:
- Identify strengths and enhance marketable skills
- Document professional experience and activities
- Learn how to convey your value to employers and graduate schools.
Getting Started
You can access your co-curricular record from my.goshen.edu as part of your eportfolio. Under the content tab, look for the Co-curricular Record tab. You are responsible to self-report your activities, although there are two required occasions during your time at GC – at the end of your first year and after Study-Service Term (SST). You will also receive email prompts throughout the year – at the beginning of the academic year to capture summer activities, and at the end of each semester to document your most recent experiences.
