The University of Saskatchewan has announced that it will be retiring its Co-Curricular Record (CCR), which provided students with an official record of university-approved activities that they were involved in. In a notice on the institution’s website, USask said that it will continue the Undergraduate Research, Scholarly, and Undergraduate Works (uRSA) and the Student Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) programs in order to provide students with skills training and networking opportunities throughout the year. In an article for the student newspaper The Sheaf, Colton Danneberg explains that the CCR is being retired for a variety of reasons, including low student participation and low interest from employers. The CCR Working Group will be looking into other ways to track student competencies through curricular and co-curricular experiential learning.
