黑料社's Co-Curricular Record (CCR) is becoming the new听Student Experience Record (SER), which will be launched in Fall 2025 in the听.听This change will enhance the way we recognize and document student learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom.听See more information about the SER here.

What is the听Student Experience Record (SER)?

黑料社's Student Experience Record (SER) is a comprehensive tool for recording and showcasing students' experiential learning both inside and outside the classroom. Replacing the听Co-Curricular Record (CCR), the SER helps students and alumni demonstrate and reflect upon their skills and experiences to support their personal, professional, and academic pursuits.

Which Faculty of Arts Internships Qualify for the SER?

The Faculty of Arts Internship Office will determine which opportunities are eligible to be recognized as an internship on the SER听based on the internship definition and eligibility criteria listed on this page.听

The AIO cannot endorse activities that fall outside the scope of internships as defined by our office. Final eligibility decisions rest with the Faculty of Arts Internship Office, which reviews each internship on a case-by-case basis to ensure alignment with Faculty and University standards.
