We know Spartans Will make the most of their college experience through engaging in beyond-the-classroom learning and engagement opportunities. Launched in Fall 2020, the dynamic co-curricular experiences you are participating in are formally recognized through Michigan State University’s new platform and record, the Spartan Experience Record.

At MSU, the Spartan Experience Record Platform captures MSU experiences that complement your academic course of study.  Examples of co-curricular experiences include:

  • Leadership positions
  • Student employment
  • Undergraduate research positions
  • Internships
  • Student organizations
  • 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 the Spartan Experience Record, sign-up for a Workshop below. Questions? Please email us through the Contact webpage.

Here are a number of frequently asked questions by and for students:
