Co-curricular experiences are all the on-campus volunteer opportunities you can participate in to complement your Laurier academic journey. Many departments across campus offer co-curricular experiences as a way to gain meaningful learning opportunities and to support transformational experiences.

If you missed adding an experience, you can complete the Retroactive Co-Curricular Position Request Form or email experiencerecord@wlu.ca and we will help you as best we can.
Activities from the current year can be added to your Laurier Experience Record anytime before the yearly deadline of March 31.

Experiences will be approved after the March 31 deadline. The checkmark on the experience will be green once validated.
Only approved positions with reflection, learning competencies selected and time commitment indicated will appear on your published LER. Pending or incomplete positions will not appear on your published LER.
