Your CCR in AUP Engage

The tracking of organization membership in AUP Engage includes your membership in clubs, sports teams, recreational activity clubs, committees, student government, ARC/tutoring, ASM Board, etc. When you become a member of an organization in AUP Engage, your membership is automatically added to your CCR.

Since AUP Engage is a new tool at AUP, launched in Spring 2019, your memberships before Spring 2019 may or may not have been tracked in your AUP Engage profile. If you were a member of an organization, or held a leadership role, and that information is not reflected on your CCR, the GPS team offers you a process to declare that information and, subject to its validation, have it added to your CCR and, when applicable, receive GPS credit.

To declare retroactive organization membership/leadership: submit this web form.

NOTE: You must submit the web form one time for each individual membership/leadership role that you wish to declare. After you have submitted the web form, the GPS team will work to validate your declaration, and once validated, the organization membership/leadership role will be added to your CCR and, if applicable, you will receive GPS credit. You will not be notified when your declaration is validated (so be sure to check back on your CCR & GPS Path regularly), however you will be contacted if the GPS team requires more information or is unable to validate your declaration.

You can submit and track reported experiences through the GPS path (explained in detail on the Your GPS Path in AUP Engage page) and via the Reported Experience tool on AUP Engage (explained in detail below).

NOTE: Be sure to check out the list of Reported Experience categories in the Reported Experiences section below. The categories will give you a clear understanding of the types of activities that can count as Reported Experiences.

The tracking of event attendance in AUP Engage began in Spring 2019 (with some exceptions for some GPS events in Fall 2018). In order for your attendance at an event to be tracked in AUP Engage, that specific event must actually exist in AUP Engage. This means that (with extremely few exceptions) events that took place before Spring 2019 will not be trackable in AUP Engage, and thus will not be able to be added to your CCR.

This is an opportunity for you to request credit towards your completion of the GPS Program for research and other such professional activities you have engaged in with faculty. Activities can include research assistantships, research partnerships, directed studies, fieldwork, lab work, etc.
