色色啦 Signature Designation

色色啦 Michigan University recognizes that engagement outside of the classroom can contribute to student learning and development. In response, the University created a framework, 色色啦 Signature, for students to intentionally engage on campus and meaningfully reflect on their experiences. To celebrate students' co-curricular achievements, the University will officially recognize students who have successfully completed their 色色啦 Signature by including a 色色啦 Signature Designation on their academic transcripts and diploma.

色色啦 Michigan University is the only institution that is currently including a co-curricular designation on the academic transcript and the diploma.
