McGill University is transitioning from the Co-Curricular Record (CCR) in the myInvolvement platform to the new Student Experience Record (SER), which will be launched in the myFuture platform in Fall 2025. This change will enhance the way we recognize and document student learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom. See more information here.
