Students can now register for the Co-Curricular Experience Transcript (CCET) online by accessing Slippery Rock University's Web site.
The CCET program is a free service offered to SRU students through the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership. It has been available to students for the past two years and has just recently been offered online.
"Creating a transcript allows students to keep track of all of their extra-curricular activities over the course of their college experience," said Cathie Sadler, coordinator of student involvement.
Once a student registers for the CCET program online, they can submit their extra-curricular activities to be recorded.
"Offering the program online has created a convenient way for students to submit activities on their own time," Sadler said.
Submissions require the name of the organization or activity, position held, date of participation and verification information. The transcripts will provide students with a detailed list of all their athletics, clubs, organizations, non-credit internships and community service involvement.
After an activity is submitted online it is received by the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership to be recorded on the student's transcript.
Students may request a copy of their transcript at any time. Transcript requests may take up to two weeks to be processed after submission. Transcripts can be used to prepare resumes, apply for internships or as an addition to an academic portfolio.
The transcript gives a verification component to a resume or portfolio by providing a detailed record. It can also offer insight into the development of a student's leadership skills during their campus experience, which may be helpful to potential employers.
Leadership, teamwork, communication and problem solving are universal skills that can be used in any occupation and are often desired by employers. Joining a campus organization or activity can help develop these crucial skills in order to better prepare students for the competitive workforce.
The Center for Student Involvement & Leadership endorses several different leadership development programs and opportunities across campus. Some of the programs include sororities and fraternities, the Freshman Leader Scholar Program, Student Government Association (SGA) and Army ROTC. These programs offer opportunities for students to serve in leadership roles and acquire necessary skills.
The registration form is available at SRU's Web site.
