Stand out for awards and scholarships

Positions are listed as pending when they have been entered by a student but have yet to be approved by a validator. Staff typically enter into the database to validate positions once per month. If you need your CCR positions validated sooner (to apply for jobs or awards), contact the staff validator. If you do not know the validator, contact Student Life for assistance %20student.life [at] mohawkcollege.ca (student[dot]life[at]mohawkcollege[dot]ca).

After a position has reached its minimum of 5 hours and is approved by a validator, it can still be edited. Students may continue to add hours to their positions until the end of the academic year (August 20th). Validators review their positions regularly to ensure that no positions have an incorrect number of hours.

Hours are only added to positions that reflect volunteer work. Participatory engagement (e.g. workshops, events, campus employment, athletics, etc.) can still be reflected on the CCR but do not track hours.
