Definition
Activities that are directly tied to and reinforce the academic curriculum, going beyond the formal classroom but integral to academic learning. Examples include internships for academic credit, field trips, lab research, service learning projects, and student teaching. Co-curricular activities differ from extracurricular activities in that they carry academic weight or credit.
