In a first among universities here, Singapore Management University’s graduating class of 2025 will receive in July a transcript recording their co-curricular activities (CCAs) on top of their academic transcript. The co-curricular transcript will go beyond a simple listing of activities that the student has participated in. It will indicate the skill sets the student has developed in the process, and the extent to which he has developed these skill sets through three progressive levels.
BSc (Information Systems) student Timothy Lua Wei Sheng who served as deputy president of SMU Students’ Association, agreed that the CCA transcript should not become another credential to chase.
“I was involved in organising events, including the freshmen orientation, and I picked up a lot of personal skills and communication skills in the process, which I am sure will count in my job.”
