CCR: Reimagining what engaged learning is! 

Tritons RISE Well-being & Community Engagement Certificate (RISE-CCR)

As part of the Tritons Flourish Initiative, the RISE Well-being & Community Engagement CCR Opportunity (RISE-CCR) enables all UC San Diego students to earn credit on their Co-Curricular Record for being active participants in programming that aims to promote students’ well-being and build a community of care on our campus. 

You can get involved in RISE-CCR activities by attending any of the following: 

  • Tritons RISE Together Workshops
  • CAPS Community Forums 
  • Tritons RISE Special Events
  • Tritons Flourish Special Events

Through the RISE-CCR programming, students will have the ability to learn about different dimensions of their well-being, practice skills designed to support improving their mental health and overall wellness, engage in identity exploration, and help to build our Triton community.

May we RISE & Flourish Together Tritons!

LET'S GET STARTED!

What is my Co-Curricular Record?

The Co-Curricular Record (CCR) highlights student achievements in opportunities beyond the classroom, including a brief description and the skills developed, on an official record. These are activities officially validated by the University, meaning that your experience in this opportunity will be displayed alongside your academic achievements and have more credibility than un-validated extracurricular activities!

Through involvement in the Tritons RISE Well-being & Community Engagement CCR Opportunity, students will work on developing these important competencies:

  • Self-Reflection: Assesses, articulates and acknowledges personal skills and abilities, and learns from past experiences and feedback to gain new insights and understandings. 
  • Teamwork & Cross-Cultural Collaboration: Works with and seeks involvement from people and entities with diverse experiences towards a common goal, demonstrating strong interpersonal skills, respect, and dignity for others.
  • Civic Engagement/Social Responsibility: Participates in service/volunteer activities characterized by reciprocity, engages in critical reflection, and appropriately challenges unfair and unjust behavior to make a positive difference in the community.
  • Leadership: Takes initiative, demonstrates effective decision making and informed risk taking, and motivates and encourages participation from others to work towards a shared purpose and vision.

UC SAN DIEGO COMPETENCIES

How can I earn CCR credit?

To receive validation for your participation in the RISE-CCR Certificate and have it show on your official CCR transcript, you must complete all 3 of the following steps to earn the required 30 credits needed for your RISE-CCR certificate eligibility:

Step #1: Attend 12 RISE-CCR eligible activities over the course of the academic year AND track your attendance to each using the RISE-CCR Attendance Log linked here for each activity you attend (12 RISE-CCR activities attended counts towards 24 of the total 30 credits needed for CCR eligibility)

Step #2: Complete the quarterly RISE-CCR Reflection Surveys which will be sent via email to all students who have completed their attendance logs (completion of survey counts towards the additional 6 credits needed)

Step #3: Log your enrollment and completion of the RISE-CCR in the CCR portal for your official certificate to be approved, validated, and posted to your CCR transcript. 


Important additional notes about each of the steps above:

  • You choose how to mix and match RISE-CCR activities to attend! There are over 25 plus activities available throughout each quarter - many even offered weekly - found on the CAPS Calendar. As part of the Tritons Flourish Initiative, CAPS and campus partners are continually working to create opportunities that will inspire and support your growth and well-being. You can choose RISE-CCR that may be helpful, explore ones that work with your schedule, and/or attend forums that match your intersecting identities and experiences.   
  • RISE-CCR activities can be found on the CAPS Calendar including: 
    • Tritons RISE Together Workshops
    • CAPS Community Forums 
    • Tritons RISE Special Events
    • Tritons Flourish Special Events
  • Each RISE-CCR activity attended counts towards 2 credits/hours (intention: 1 hour for attendance to the workshop PLUS 1 hour  of encouraged practicing of learned skills/reflections and/or community engagement following the RISE-CCR).
  • You must log all RISE CCR activity attendance through the RISE-CCR Attendance Log to receive credit.  
  • Completion of the required RISE-CCR Reflection & Experience Surveys, which are sent quarterly via email to those who completed their attendance logs, is estimated to account for the final 6 hours needed for completion of the RISE-CCR Certificate. A reminder that CCR approval and validation requires 30 earned hours of participation in RISE-CCR approved activities. 
  • Upon completion of your RISE-CCR requirements, students must log their participation through the University’s CCR portal for your official certificate to be approved, validated, and posted to your CCR transcript. 

Once a student’s RISE-CCR completion is approved and validated through the CCR portal linked above, students will receive a certificate of completion documenting:

Tritons RISE Well-being & Community Engagement Certificate:

Participated in experiential programming, including workshops and community forums, designed to increase well-being and build a community of care. Learned about different dimensions of well-being, practiced skills designed to support improving mental health and overall wellness, engaged in identity exploration, and helped to build our Triton community.

AND the Tritons RISE Well-being & Community Engagement Certificate will appear on a student’s CCR transcript with the following description:

Participated in strength-based experiential programming, including workshops and community forums, designed to build skills for resilience, increase well-being, nurture a community of care and create a flourishing life.  

How do I know which activities are eligible?

Visit the CAPS calendar and look for events with the RISE-CCR hashtag! (#RISE-CCR)

How do I document my participation?

Each student is responsible for keeping track of their RISE involvement over the course of the year by submitting all RISE-CCR eligible participation using the RISE-CCR Attendance Log. It is aso always encouraged to keep your own copy/log of your involvement throughout the year so that you can refer to it. 

Once you have completed all RISE-CCR requirements (which totals 30 hours of active engagement in the RISE-CCR programming), you must log your participation in the Tritons RISE Well-being & Community Engagement certificate program through the University’s CCR portal for your official certificate to be approved, validated, and posted to your CCR transcript.   From this point your participation will then be sent on for validation by both CAPS and the CCR teams.

Can I get credit for something I already attended?

Yes! Although we recommend you log your attendance promptly after each RISE-CCR activity you attend, you can still log your RISE-CCR participation if it was during the current academic year by adding the activity to your RISE-CCR Attendance Log. Provided your attendance can be confirmed by the activity host, it will count towards the 30-hour RISE-CCR certificate requirement.
