Co-Curricular Learning Outcomes

Co-curricular programs and services at Rowan University serve to enhance student learning and development outside of the formal classroom environment. Events and activities are planned to support specific student learning outcomes, and students are assessed to demonstrate growth in these areas. Learning outcomes demonstrated by students are recorded in the ProfLink co-curricular transcript system. Specific learning outcomes are listed on students' co-curricular transcripts. An experience level (such as introductory, intermediate, advanced) that the student has demonstrated relative to other Rowan University undergraduates may optionally be listed after each outcome. The co-curricular transcript will list a "Campus Learning Outcomes Demonstrated" summary, and detail which outcomes were achieved through specific campus involvements. This list describes our campus learning outcomes in more detail than can be displayed on the co-curricular transcript. Students may want to print this list to provide to employers and other agencies with their co-curricular transcript.
