Welcome to the CCR Validation Tutorial! Before validating any students, please  review the [**New Validator Checklist**](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lJJrFUfd8aFxUhbT1gNU9HQfclh6PBJ7/view) and [**Validation Timeline**](https://elt.ucsd.edu/ccr/ccr-validators.html#Suggested-Validation-Timeline) .

To begin validation, log into the [**CCR Portal**](https://myccr.ucsd.edu/myAccount/myrecord.htm) under the Faculty/Staff dropdown using your Active Directory SSO credentials.

Once logged in, navigate to the '**Co-Curricular Module**'.

Under the "**Pending**" tab you should see any students that have requested your validation.

Check the boxes for students you'd like to Approve or Decline, then click the "**Action**" dropdown menu.

Click "**Approve with Email**" for students that have completed the 30-hour engagement requirement, which finalizes validation and sends them an automated message about their approved position.

Click "**Decline with Email**" for students that did not meet the 30-hour engagement requirement, which removes the request from your "Pending" tab and sends the student an automated message about their declined validation. Please note that the CCR Admin Team defers to validator judgment for all validation decisions.

The validation process is essential to ensure accuracy and integrity in student records. You should only validate students for your position(s) after they successfully meet the engagement requirement of 30-hours within one academic year. Validation is required for a position to be included on a student's [**CCR Transcript**](https://elt.ucsd.edu/record/index.html).

You can also add students to position(s) and validate them at the same time, by following these steps. Click the tab for **'Validator for the Following Activities'**, and the specific position you'd like to manage.

Click the **three-dot button** in the lower right of your screen.

Select **'Add Position to Student Record'**.

You can add student participants one-by-one by searching their name in the upper "**User Look-Up**" field.

You can mass enroll student participants by entering a list of PIDs in the lower "**User to add**" field (must be on separate lines).

Select whether you'd like to automatically **Approve** student participation by adding them (thus allowing the position to appear on their transcript), or if you'd like the status to remain **Pending** for you to approve once the 30-hour engagement requirement has been met.

Remember to select the right toggle to "**Email newly added student participants**" before clicking "**Add**" so participants are informed of their position status.
