Co-Curricular Management
Co-Curricular Transcripts and Involvement Records
Increasing student involvement and meaningful engagement in co-curricular programs is a primary objective of Student Affairs offices across the country. Co-curricular programming complements classroom learning experiences to create a holistic learning environment and educate the “whole” student. Tracking student participation and learning outcomes from out-of-classroom experiences is crucial to measure assessment and developmental impact. When Student Affairs offices are able to measure and align learning outcomes that support institutional assessment objectives, administrators can plan co-curricular programming that directly impacts student learning. However, very few institutions have the tools or processes in place to successfully capture, measure and report value-added benefits from co-curricular programming and the learning outcomes of student participation and involvement.
OrgSync provides co-curricular management tools for administrators and students to capture and verify data of student participation in organizations, co-curricular programming, leadership development programs, experiential learning opportunities and residential hall programming, to name a few. Our uniquely designed portal system centralizes student involvement data, making it easy to track and measure assessment objectives and attribute learning outcomes to specific co-curricular programs and initiatives on campus.
In a time of economic tightening on higher education spending, OrgSync will help Student Affairs offices make the wisest investments in co-curricular programming by providing the ability to compare and analyze learning outcomes with assessment criterion to determine the success of campus programs and initiatives.
