Benefits

Make it official

In the Record, you’ll have a Registrar-verified document showcasing your involvement in engaged learning experiences within courses, on-campus, and within the community.

Support your goals

You can use the information on your Record during interviews with prospective employers or graduate and professional schools, when drafting your resume and cover letter, or in graduate or professional school applications. 

Keep track

The Record keeps track of your experiences, how much time you spent on them, and when you completed them, giving you a comprehensive summary and lookback at your undergraduate career.

Using the Record has not only helped me showcase my on-campus experience, but it has also given me a way to talk about the skills and knowledge that I have gained here at IUPUI.
