Your college experience is a jam-packed four years that can fly by in a flash. Enter the Experiential and Applied Learning Record to help you track and make sense of all college-worthy documents.
Nicknamed “the Record,” this is your tool for documenting and tracking your high-quality, engaged learning experiences throughout your undergraduate career at IU Indianapolis.
Become a leader, gain career-related experience, conduct research, and more through all the experiences IU Indianapolis offers inside and outside the classroom. As you collect these events, you will gain knowledge and skills, make meaning of the world around you, and discover your passions.
Known as engaged learning experiences, these high-quality and high-impact experiences are tracked and documented on your Record—an official university credential. At IU Indianapolis, these experiences also map to the Profiles of Learning for Undergraduate Success.
IU Indianapolis's goal for all undergraduate students: obtain at least four Record experiences before graduating.
Instructors and program directors must apply to have their courses and experiences on the Record. Through that process, we certify the quality and impact of the adventure. Your instructors and program directors are also responsible for reporting your successful completion of the experience, just like instructors report grades for your transcript.
There’s no shortage of Record-bearing experiences to explore across seven achievement categories.
