Co-Curricular Record

How do I create a CCR account? 

You can create a CCR by logging into your FanshaweOnline (FOL) account and clicking on the Career/Co-op/CCR button:
 

Then, click on the “Co-Curricular Record” option at the top of the screen.​​​​​​

What are learning outcomes?

Learning outcomes will appear on the printed version of your individual CCR, and are identified by you. Learning outcomes show meaningful learning as a result of your involvement, by reflecting on your experiences.  

How is my CCR validated by faculty and College staff?

When the activity is completed, click "ADD TO RECORD" and your request for CCR recognition is forwarded to a validator for approval. Validators are the individuals responsible for approving or declining requests for an activity to be added to a CCR. A validator is usually the College staff member or faculty member who oversees, coordinates or facilitates the activity (i.e. group, club, event, etc.) and can verify the authenticity of a student request.

How do I print my CCR?

Once your activities have been validated, at any point you are able to generate a printed PDF version of your CCR by clicking on "Print My Co-Curricular Record".

 

Does the CCR have any key dates or deadlines?

All activities that you've participated in should be added by March 31 of the same academic year. Validators are responsible for approving or declining all pending requests by April 30 of the same academic year.

Reminder: The CCR is not retroactive so you must add activities during the same academic year in which you were involved.

Fanshawe's Co-Curricular Record (CCR) is an institutionally recognized document that showcases your involvement and growth outside of the classroom. Together with your academic transcript, it provides a view of your overall experience and learning at the College.

As a new student, the CCR can help you:

• Learn more about all of the out-of-classroom activities available at Fanshawe College
• Understand how Fanshawe College can assist in your full development as a student

As a current student, the CCR can help you:

• Get recognition for your participation in campus life activities that promote personal growth
• Reflect on, and identify key learning and skills gained through your participation
• Prepare a personalized document of your key activities that is validated by staff and faculty members which complements your academic transcript
• Adapt your record to specific audiences to enhance your resume, portfolio or academic applications

Fanshawe College believes strongly in the holistic development of our students. Additionally, there is a belief that the learning and growth that happens outside of the academic setting is important. We feel that when we combine our academic programming with a rich student experience, our College graduates become those candidates that employers are seeking to hire.
