Become a Validator

Western's Co-Curricular Record (WCCR) recognizes meaningful student learning beyond the classroom. By adding your activity as a validator, you help shape high‑quality student experiences and gain a structured framework that supports the development, delivery, and assessment of impactful co‑curricular programs. Your participation as a validator also ensures these opportunities are visible and accessible to students exploring Western’s Experience Catalogue and Co-Curricular Directory. 

• Promotes your activity to current and prospective students through the Experience Catalogue and Co-Curricular Directory.
• Supports the development of well‑rounded, high‑achieving students.
• Provides tools and standards to design and assess experiential learning outside the classroom.
• Encourages student reflection on their transferable skills.
• Helps identify programming gaps and enhance overall co‑curricular offerings.
• Strengthens the WCCR by contributing to a richer record of student involvement.
