The Cocurricular Record

As an institution of higher learning dedicated to the liberal arts and sciences, Truman State University recognizes the important role out-of-class experiences play in student development and in enhancing the college experience.  We, therefore, have initiated several strategies to encourage and support students in their attempts to participate in a balanced array of out-of-class experiences that will support their academic and career goals while helping them connect with other members of our community.

Although Truman is not unique in recording and recognizing student out-of-class experiences, there are some aspects of our program which are unique.  For example, our cocurricular records are based on the Out-of-Class Planning Map which is organized to encourage activities that support desired learning outcomes and our University mission.  We also encourage students to keep two records: the Personal Cocurricular Record and the Official Cocurricular Record.  

• Student Resources: find out how to get started, what kinds of things can be included in the Personal Cocurricular Record and the Official Cocurricular Record, and how to request a copy of your record. 

• Faculty & Staff Resources:  find out your important role in allowing students to be recognized for their accomplishments outside the classroom. 

• General Information: learn more about the Cocurricular Record or the Out-of-Class Planning Map.  This information is directed towards employers, graduate schools, parents, and others interested in learning about the Cocurricular Record at Truman State University.
