Verify Your Students

A critical step to ensure your experience is added to your students’ SER is to verify their successful engagement and completion of the learning experience. This occurs when the experience concludes (similar to how students get a grade at the conclusion of the term, students have the experience added when they complete the co-curricular experience).

Why is completing validation important?

Validating student participation in the Spartan Experience Record activity allows the position/role the student held to display on their Spartan Experience Record (SER). Until their participation/learning is validated, it does not display on their SER. Once complete, students will be notified about the position added to their record.

When should validation be completed?

May 22* – Experiences that completed in Fall or Spring 2025/2026

June 26* – Experiences that complete end of Summer I 2026 term

August 14* – Experiences that complete end of Summer II 2026 term

*Preferred deadlines. Deadlines may change, but furthermore, additional outreach to colleagues will be made to ensure we best support students.
