SINGAPORE - In a first among universities here, Singapore Management University’s graduating class of 2025 will receive in July a transcript recording their co-curricular activities (CCA) on top of their academic transcript.

The co-curricular transcript will go beyond a simple listing of activities that the student has participated in and indicate the skillsets that they have developed in the process, and the extent to which they have developed these skillsets through three progressive levels. 

At the highest level, a student’s involvement in the activity has led to profound growth or a major shift in values, beliefs and perspectives.

Information for the transcript is drawn from an online platform where students document their learning experiences through their CCAs, and reflect on their learning and growth. Their instructors provide further guidance and feedback.
