A promising practice could be a strategy, initiative or program viewed by the institution to be an innovative practice, success story and/or key accomplishment that the institution would like to highlight. The Co-curricular Record (CCR) was launched in January 2010. The CCR is an official document that captures students’ extra- curricular activities so that they can better market themselves to potential employers and graduate schools. Presently the CCR has over 494 registered activities. We have implemented a new Academic Performance Code – CA (Continue Alternate). This status will encourage students to transfer programs of study when they are having difficulties in their current program. Carleton respondents reported high levels of satisfaction in the winter 2010 CUSC survey of first-year undergraduates. 91 percent of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that they were satisfied with their decision to attend ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. 91 percent of Carleton respondents also reported that they were generally satisfied with the quality of teaching they have received. In the winter 2009 CUSC survey of graduating undergraduates, 92 percent of Carleton respondents were satisfied or very satisfied with the overall quality of education.
