Co-curricular Experiences

General Guidelines

Many forms of campus participation have value, and we encourage UHP students to involve themselves in such activities. However, in the UHP curriculum we want to emphasize programs that are close complements to academic and scholarly development. Eligible experiences should require you to intentionally reference and integrate knowledge from your curriculum in an applied fashion and involve active accountability through supervision, mentorship, instruction, etc.

Thus, eligible co-curricular experiences do not include routine participation or leadership in campus clubs or “student life” activities.

  • Experiences should be recorded by completing the Co-Curricular Experience form in Canvas.
  • Complete the form upon completion of the experience.
  • One kind of experience may be repeated. For example, a student might satisfy the "Experience" requirement through three seasons of debate team participation, three undergraduate research experiences, etc.
  • An experience that is formally required by your declared major may only be counted as one of the three co-curricular experiences if an additional enrichment and/or intellectual product is approved.
  • It might be possible to propose that do not appear on the list below that are still well thought out, meaningfully challenging, and contributory to intellectual and academic development, pending approval. In such instances, the student should consult with the UHP staff as soon as possible.
