Your CCR in AUP Engage
Accessing and editing your CCR
To view your CCR, click your personal menu (top right) and then click “Co-Curricular Record”
You arrive at page where you can view and manipulate an editable version of your CCR:
To view a “clean” version of your CCR, click “Print View/PDF” at the top:
You can use the “up”, “down”, and “hide” buttons to change the order of entries within each section of your CCR and to hide certain entries. You may want to customize your CCR based on how you plan to use it. Some experiences might be more relevant than others depending on if you are, for example, applying for an internship or applying to graduate school…
If you have hidden an entry, and you want to unhide it, click the “ADD” button next to the label of that section of your CCR. ***NOTE: These “ADD” buttons are not where you go to new entries to your CCR. Remember these three things about adding entries to your CCR:
- Event attendance is added to your CCR automatically (only for events where attendance is taken and only since Spring 2019).
- Organization membership/leadership is added to your CCR automatically since Spring 2019. To add organization membership/leadership from before Spring 2019 to your CCR, you must submit this web form (one submission for each entry).
- Reported experiences can be added to your CCR through your GPS path and through the Reported Experience Tool. Learn how to use the tool in the Reported Experiences section below.
reported experiences
Reported experiences in AUP Engage allow you to add a large variety of experiences to your CCR. They can be added via the GPS Path or via the Reported Experiences tool.
***NOTE: If there is a reported experience that you wish to declare, and that counts for credit in your GPS Path, please declare the reported experience through your GPS path. For information on how to do this, check out this page: Your GPS Path in AUP Engage.

Using the Reported Experiences Tool
You should use this tool when:
- You are submitting a Reported experience that you do not want or need GPS Credit for.
- You have already submitted the Reported Experience once through the GPS Path for GPS credit, and now you are submitting again to add another experience of the same type to your CCR.
To access the Reported Experiences Tool, click your personal menu (top right) and then click “Experiences”
You will arrive at your “My Experiences” page. There is a list of all of the Reported Experiences you have declared, their status (approved, pending, etc.), their types, and there is a button next to each (far right) that you click on to edit each experience. At the top right of the page is a blue button that says “Add Experience” – this is where you can go add as many new experiences as you wish!
