McGill CaPS provides an official document validating a student’s achievement and involvement through McGill’s defined co-curricular programming. An official CCR is generally used when students are applying to graduate/professional programs, internships, grants or employment.
What is the difference between an Official CCR and a CCR that students can access themselves in myInvolvement?
An official CCR must be requested by students when they complete the form. It can only be sent by a member of the CCR/SER team with the resource accounts myInvolvement [at] mcgill.ca or experiencerecord [at] mcgill.ca to the authoritative agencies indicated on the student’s application.
An "unofficial" CCR (or simply called a CCR) is a version that students can access anytime on myInvolvement. It presents a complete summary of a student’s participation in authorized co-curricular activities and self-reported experiences. This CCR can be edited (i.e. students can hide elements for a shorter version) before sharing as desired.

Request an Official CCR
To request an Official CCR, fill out the Official CCR Request Form.
NOTE: Please read these points before completing the form:
-
Any student who is requesting an official CCR must first consult their CCR by signing into myInvolvement to ensure that all of their opportunities are present and correct. Please contact us at myinvolvement [at] mcgill.ca if you have any questions, but please note that no additional activities are being added to the CCR. Please see the Student Experience Record website for more information.
-
We currently do not offer a French version of the official CCR.
-
You must allow at least 2 weeks for the official CCR to be sent to the indicated recipient(s) after your form is processed and approved. Please be advised that it can take longer for us to process the form during peak times in the term (i.e., start and end of the term).
- We are not responsible for invalid email addresses or sending the official CCR before the deadlines. Please note that we only send the official CCR to email addresses from authorized recipients/agencies.
