We know Spartans Will make the most of their college experience through engaging in beyond-the-classroom learning and engagement opportunities. Beginning Fall 2020, the dynamic co-curricular experiences you are participating in will now be formally recognized through Michigan State University’s new platform and record, My Spartan Story and the Spartan Experience Record.
At MSU, the interactive My Spartan Story platform captures the MSU experiences that complement your academic course of study. Experiences that can be considered for inclusion must be 1) MSU sponsored, 2) does not bear academic credit, and 3) has established learning outcomes that include assessment. Examples of co-curricular activities include: leadership positions, student employment, undergraduate research positions, internships, student organizations, and civic engagement opportunities.
Your Spartan Experience Record officially documents your learning in these activities, which can be requested through the Registrar’s Office. Once populated, you can customize and print your SER to reflect on your experiences and support your goals during time at MSU and beyond graduation.
To get started, please review our Student Resources and FAQ’s. Additionally, to get a full introduction to My Spartan Story and the SER, sign-up for a My Spartan Story 101 Workshop below. Questions? Please email us through the Contact webpage.
