A Co-Curricular Activity is an event or activity that enhances students learning outside of your classroom. Some examples of co-curricular activities include speakers, panel discussions, film screenings, plays, musicals, art exhibits, foods fairs, art projects, and other campus projects, often student led. Co-curricular activities also include simulations such as Poverty 101 and Hunger Banquet, which engage students in specific roles to help them explore an issue. Other  interdisciplinary events such as teach-ins and unnatural disaster, which involves students from several disciplines in a public policy forum about a disaster, are also co-curricular activities. The Office of Student Life's Service-Learning program, which combines community service with academic instruction, is also a co-curricular activity.

Co-Curricular Activities are supported by the Co-Curricular Activities Coordinator, Student Life, the Dean of Arts and Sciences and often the Library. Many Co-Curricular Activities directly help students learn through work on the SEE Your World outcomes, which focus on global learning, civic engagement, and diversity. Co-Curricular Activities directly engage students in developing in the areas in the SLOAC Cross-Curricular Outcomes.
