What is it? Involvements in student organizations in The Co-Curricular Transcript is a comprehensive record of a student's leadership experiences and campus involvement while an undergraduate. It is a supplement to their academic transcript. Involvements in student organizations in Pioneer Place will be automatically populated on your co-curricular transcript.

What goes on it? You can manually add in any of the following pieces to enhance your involvement record: Awards Honors received while a student at Utica College (not during high school years) such as special recognition from community organizations, the Student Recognition Banquet Awards, academic honors, Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges, RA of the Month, etc. Athletics/Intramurals Serving as a member, captain, coach, or manager of an athletic club, varsity sport, or intramural team Educational Workshops/Conferences Attendance at any professional development opportunities such as leadership seminars, workshops, professional conferences, training sessions, etc. Community Service Volunteer work that provides service to others such as working with a youth organization, for a healthcare facility, as a reader for an elementary school, at a soup kitchen, etc. Campus Involvement Service to the campus community such as being an Orientation Mentor, an RA, UC Ambassador, Peer Tutor, mascot, or student representation on a committee, etc.

Why should I use it? The Co-Curricular Transcript is a document of non-academic activities that encourages students to reflect on the skills and values they learn through involvement outside the classroom. It is designed as a means of recognizing and tracking out-of- class learning, development, and contributions during a students’ college career. This is an excellent way to record co-curricular accomplishments in order to evaluate your career choices and get ahead when applying to jobs and looking for internships.

How do I make one? Any Student Organizations, sports, offices, and committees you’re involved with that have a Pioneer Place account will automatically be posted on your personal co-curricular transcript. It will update which positions you hold and keep track of how long you’re a member. To add accomplishments to your Co-Curricular Transcript in Pioneer Place, go the the "My Involvement" tab in the navigation bar on your user profile page, and click on “Experiences.” Each experience you create will also appear on the transcript automatically.

Personalize To add items to your co-curricular transcript other than student organization involvement, you must use the “Experiences” link in the top navigation bar, under “My Involvement.” You also directly access the “Co-Curricular Transcript” link from this navigation bar.

Personalize There are many different topics for your experiences. There is no right or wrong topic to choose. Whichever topic you decide fits the experience you want to add is correct for you!

Personalize The topics appear as section headlines on the transcript. Each experience you add will automatically appear on the transcript under the appropriate headline.

Personalize When saving and printing transcript copies, you can hide certain experiences or take away entire topics to make the content appropriate for your use at the time. You can create multiple copies of your transcript and save them as real PDF documents.
