Laurier Experience Record (LER) 

The Laurier Experience Record (LER) is a shareable summary of your validated and reflected experiences including your developed competencies, the total number of experiences, and the types of experiences. Navigator pulls from all the experiential learning experiences tracked in the system and puts them together to create your LER. You can share your LER to your LinkedIn profile as a verified listing of all your activities at Laurier.

Co-curricular Experiences 

Add your co-curricular experiences (on-campus volunteer, club, athletic opportunities, etc.) that you participate in during your time at Laurier.

Your course-based experiential learning experiences are tracked in the Curricular Experiences module. You may use the module to sign up for an experience, track hours or complete reflections, depending on your experiential learning course. Other experiential course experiences will be added to this module at the end of each academic year.

A variety of non-credit certificates and workshop series are managed in this module. There are some certificates that you can enroll yourself in and others where the participants are added by an administrator. Completed certificates and workshop series will appear on your LER.
