Towards a Transformative Education – SMU’s Co-Curricular Transcript
From its inception, SMU has been committed to grooming global-ready graduates through a holistic and transformative education. At SMU, learning objectives from the various co-curricular platforms are aligned to the SMU Graduate Learning Outcomes (GLO). A culture of meaningful reflection is promoted, with the aim of guiding students in deepening and documenting their learning. In so doing, we empower students to enhance self-awareness and articulate areas of personal growth.
From 2025, all students will receive a Co-Curricular Transcript upon graduation, which will complement their academic transcript. Apart from documenting out-of-classroom activities that students have participated in, this Transcript offers insights into the skillsets that they have developed in the process. The transcript will indicate the extent of growth of a graduate in the identified Graduate Learning Outcome (see Fig. 1) according to three levels of learning – Exposure, Integration and Transformation, with each level indicating a progressively more impactful experience.
This initiative demonstrates SMU’s commitment to providing a transformative education through developing holistic graduates with career-ready skills.
