CAS states that a
"Campus Activities Program (CAP) must incorporate student learning and
student development in its mission. The CAP must enhance overall
educational experiences. ... The CAP must operate as an integral part of
the institution’s overall mission. The CAP must complement the
institution's academic programs. The purposes must enhance the overall
educational experiences of students through development of, exposure to,
and participation in social, cultural, multicultural, intellectual,
recreational, community service, and campus governance programs. Campus
activities programs should provide environments in which students and
student organizations are afforded opportunities and are offered
assistance to: • participate in co-curricular activities; participate in
campus governance • develop leadership abilities • develop healthy
interpersonal relationships; use leisure time productively • explore
activities in individual and group settings for self-understanding and
growth • learn about varied cultures and experiences, ideas and issues,
art and musical forms, and styles of life • design and implement
programs to enhance social, cultural, multi-cultural, intellectual,
recreational, community service, and campus governance involvement;
comprehend institutional policies and procedures and their relationship
to individual and group interests and activities; and learn of and use
campus facilities and other resources
Campus activities
programs should be planned and implemented collaboratively by students,
professional staff, and faculty. Such programs should reflect the
institution's ideals and should serve to achieve its goals. These
programs especially serve to enhance the appropriate recruitment and
retention of students, to strengthen campus and community relations, and
to reinforce accurate images of the institution. Programs should be
comprehensive and should reflect and promote the diversity of student
interests and needs, allowing especially for the achievement by students
of a sense of self-worth and pride. “ (CAS Campus Activities Standards
Part 1)
“The formal
education of students consists of the curriculum and the co-curriculum,
and must promote student learning and development that is purposeful and
holistic. The Campus Activities Program (CAP) must identify relevant and
desirable student learning and development outcomes and provide programs
and services that encourage the achievement of those outcomes." (CAS
Campus Activities Standards Part 2)
