Çankırı Karatekin University has launched its new "Social Transcript System," offering students a significant digital innovation. This system allows students to log their extracurricular activities throughout their academic life and turn these into official certificates. The system goes beyond academic achievements, aiming to support students’ social, cultural, sports, and career development.
Activity Documentation and Approval Process
The Social Transcript System requires students to submit the activities they have participated in for faculty approval. Students upload the details of their activities to the system, which are then reviewed by the faculty board. Approved activities are transformed into an official social transcript that contributes to the student’s personal development portfolio. This document will play an essential role in showcasing students` competencies and experiences, especially when they step into their careers after graduation.
Detailed Activity Categories
The system allows students to document a wide range of activities, categorized as follows:
-
Social Activities: Activities aimed at encouraging social interaction and community engagement, such as volunteering projects, seminars, and events aimed at social responsibility. For instance, participating in a community service project or taking on an active role in university clubs falls under this category.
