Co-curricular Opportunities

Co-curricular experiential learning are not-for-credit experiences that are offered through a variety of academic and non-academic departments at the University of Guelph.

The activities listed below meet all six co-curricular experiential learning criteria and are recognized on the U of G Professional and Career Development Record (PCDR). If you believe there is an activity that should be recognized, please review the PCDR Co-curricular Proposal process.

There are 13 types of co-curricular experiential learning opportunities, approved by Senate in June 2020.

Book an appointment with an EL Hub Peer Helper to find out more about co-curricular experiential learning opportunities related to your goals.
