Why the CCR beats a traditional resume
Why the Co‑Curricular Record (CCR) beats a traditional resume for students
Official university‑wide record – The CCR is an official transcript, home grown at UCSD and the only one in the UCs) that the Registrar issues alongside the academic transcript, giving it the same institutional weight that graduate schools and employers trust.
- Verified by faculty or staff – Every position entered into the CCR is validated by a supervising faculty/staff member, ensuring the experience is an authentic and meets quality standards of active learning and engagement.
- Built‑in career‑readiness competencies – Each entry automatically lists the specific competency (e.g., communication, teamwork, problem‑solving) the student demonstrated, aligning the student’s work with skills employers are looking for.
- Portable proof of impact – Because the CCR carries the university seal and faculty/staff verification, it can be shared directly with potential employers or graduate programs as a trusted “proof of experience” rather than a self‑described list.
10 Years of CCR Growth and Participation
UCSD's Co-Curricular Record (CCR) was launched in the fall of 2015 with a few dozen student positions, and has continued to expand and evolve over the next ten years. For the 2024-2025 school year there were over 6,400 validated student positions, with more than 3,100 approved positions to choose from.
