Cocurricular Assessment

Cocurricular Assessment

 
ORU Cocurricular Definition
Selected activities outside the classroom that reinforce the University’s mission, are aligned with the University outcomes, and complement the curriculum.

 

Student experiences in cocurricular activities cultivate the development of Holy Spirit-empowered leaders through whole-person education to impact the world. 

EXAMPLE | Cocurricular Activities & University Outcome Alignment

The assessment of cocurricular activities are completed by the department that's reponsible and are assessed according to student engagement.  

Whole Person Leadership Record

The Whole Person Leadership Record (WPLR) recognizes the achievement of cocurricular activities. The WPLR will be an official document similar to a student transcript. 

Whole Leader Score

Cocurricular activity points are calculated on 4.0 scale, which contributes toward the  student's Whole Leader Score.
