Co-Curricular Record (CCR)

How do I access the CCR?  

Beginning in Fall 2024, University of Guelph-Humber students will have the ability to access their CCR through the GHworks platform. As of May 1, 2024, UofGH students will no longer have access to the Humber CCR portal.

 Why did we move to GHworks? 

UofGH is focused on creating an efficient and user-friendly CCR experience for students. Moving the UofGH CCR portal to GHworks will capture all experiential learning opportunities on the same platform. Students will be able to review job postings, submit and track field placement documents, and report on their co-curricular activities all on one platform using their UofGH credentials.
