Want to boost your resume before the school year even starts? We've got just the thing. It’s called the Orientation Starter Pack, and it's your chance to earn your very first Co-Curricular Record (CCR) validation this summer!

Your Co-Curricular Record is like your secret sauce for job applications, internships, and grad school. It’s an official university document that highlights everything you do outside the classroom—leadership, volunteering and skill-building, all verified by U of T staff and faculty.

My reaction to getting my first CCR validation

Here's how you can get your first CCR validation this summer:

  1. Enroll in the Orientation Starter Pack Workflow: Log in to Folio with your UTORid or JOINid, and join the Orientation Starter Pack workflow. That’s your official start!
  2. Attend one Learning Strategy Workshop: Go to one session from the Centre for Learning Strategy Support. These are listed under “Build Academic Skills” in the Prep Guide. Not only will you pick up tips to thrive at U of T, but it also counts toward your CCR!
  3. Join two CCR-tagged events or workshops: Check the Prep Guide for events with the ‘CCR’ badge—attend any two and you're nearly there. Pro tip: These are also a fun way to meet people and learn about campus life.
  4. Complete a short reflection on Folio: Wrap it all up by sharing how you plan to get involved this year. It's quick, thoughtful and completes your CCR-validation journey.

This is your chance to start building a record that shows off your drive, your passion and your potential, all before classes even begin! Start your CCR journey with the Orientation Starter Pack today.
