What is the Co-Curricular Record?
Your CCR is a formal non-academic transcript that recognizes both paid and volunteer experiences on campus.
Vancouver Island University is dedicated to helping students succeed through hands-on learning. The Co-Curricular Record (CCR) encourages you to grow both academically and professionally by tracking and building on the skills and experiences you've gained.
Submit your CCR reflection in just a few minutes and receive formal recognition for your campus experiences.
