  2. How does a student's participation get recorded?

    When creating events in the system, administrators may choose to record student participation automatically. Alternatively, administrators can track participation in other tools such as myFuture and upload a list of participant names to a .csv file. When students join an organization, their hours of service or participation in events can be recorded in one of these 2 ways.

  3. As a student, can I choose not to have my participation in specific groups or events recorded on my CCR?

    Yes, you can choose to hide certain information on the record, or to change the order of events.

  4. As a student, can I keep track of co-curricular activities that are not officially recognized by McGill?

    Yes, in addition to experiences officially recognized on the CCR, McGill students can use the Experiences tab to record non-eligible items and activities for their own reference. These unofficial experiences can help students keep track of their experiences and build their resume. These items will not be added to a student’s co-curricular record. If the items are not validated as an eligible activity, they will remain in pending mode.

  5. What is the difference between an unofficial and official CCR?

    Students can access an unofficial version of their CCR on myInvolvement at any time. The unofficial CCR presents a complete summary of a student’s participation in authorized co-curricular activities and self-reported experiences. Students can customize their record by hiding or re-ordering any of their validated co-curricular activities.

  6. As an administrator, can I assign advertising and communication tasks to student staff?

    Yes, a variety of administrative access profiles are available within myInvolvement. You can set administrative access for students and staff through the Manage Roster tab in myInvolvement.

  7. As an administrator, how can I access my organization’s reports?

    Student leaders and staff have the ability to pull reports for RSVP and event attendance within their own organization. The following reports are also available upon request:
