Get started on your pathway
Keep a record of your activities through Engage and work towards completing a co-curricular path.
Step one
Choose a path that interests you, and explore some of the approved activities and workshops on offer.
Check availability by visiting one of our pages:
Leadership path
Community Engagement path
Global Citizens path
Innovation path
Professional Development Workshops
If your experience is not listed and you believe it should be included, please email us on co-curricular@auckland.ac.nz.
Step two
Get in touch with the team by completing this form, so we can add you to the correct path (Note that you can only work towards completing one path at a time on Engage).
You will be notified when you have successfully enrolled in a path.
Step three
Participate in your chosen activity and workshop for your first path.
Step four
Log your activity (including eligible activity hours, Professional Development Workshop and written reflection) into the Engage system and track your path progress.
Not sure what this means? Read our helpful document.
Step five
You will be notified once you've completed all your path requirements and your achievement will be added to your co-curricular record.
Step six
Work towards receiving your University of Auckland Distinguished Graduate Award by selecting a second path to complete following the same steps as your first path.
Important note
Students must have completed the activity while they were enrolled at University. Activity hours must be submitted within two years after completion and Professional Development Workshop within one year after completion to be recognised in the Co-curricular Recognition Programme.
It is also important to note that a single activity cannot be used in more than one path. Also, you can only work towards completing one path at a time.
In order to be eligible for the University of Auckland Distinguished Graduate Award, students must have completed two of the four path options (Leadership, Community Engagement, Global Citizens or Innovation).
It is fine to work towards a path, without pursuing the Distinguished Graduate Award. Your results will be recorded on your co-curricular record.
