Co-Curricular

Co-curricular Record is a platform designed to recognise UWC students’ active participation in various co-curricular activities as part of their holistic student life experience.

This platform enables students to apply for official recognition of their co-curricular involvement and successes, which include experiential learning, transfer of skills and inhabiting certain attributes that facilitate their development and growth. These attributes are intended to prepare students as critical and responsible citizens, contributing to the social and economic wellbeing of students on campus and broader focus on society. The focus of the co-curricular involvement goes beyond attending a workshop or training programme, but places an emphasis on demonstrable skills and attributes that have been acquired to competently undertake and fulfil given tasks or assignments.

The Co-curricular application becomes a record once the successful applicants are approved by the adjudication panel and they become eligible for an Official University Co-Curricular Certificate or Record.

At this stage, the Co-curricular recognition is focusing on campus-based programmes and projects, alongside other meritorious and academic achievements. In case you think you are missing out, in preparation for the growth of the platform, the programme team has already established a process for the inclusion of other student involvement and experience activities, programmes and projects.

Please note that the applicant is allowed only 500 characters when filling each application per category. Each category contains criteria that are applicable which an applicant should be familiar with. Please ensure that you fill in the relevant information and where evidence is needed, you are required to include clear and verifiable submission in the designated mandatory spaces. Provide the correct details of the contact person or referee. A reference report by a relevant UWC staff member (referee) is a requirement for each application.
