Once you have joined a group, you can use it to auto-populate CAS experience fields when adding the experience to your CAS worksheet. See more about this in the next tutorial. |

Completing Reflections & Evidence
Start by navigating to your CAS Worksheet and select the experience you want to add to. Click Add Reflections and Evidence in the right navigation panel. |
Here you can add a journal entry, website link, video, photo, or file. Please note that each file and photo must be under 500 mb. Reflections and evidence must be linked to one or more of your targeted learning outcomes. |
After adding reflections, you can access the Reflections & Evidence tab at the top of the page to view all your entries.
You can also filter these entries by outcome and type from the right navigation panel. |
Obtaining a Supervisor Review
If your experience has been approved and all reflections and evidence have been added, you can click Request Supervisor Review. This will send an e-mail to the experience supervisor to review online. The Supervisor Review email will also contain the experience Reflections & Evidence. Alternatively, you can click CAS Completion Form. This will create a PDF of the experience information which can be printed and signed by the experience supervisor. The CAS Completion Form will not include the Reflections & Evidence. Note: The Supervisor email will be locked once students click Request Supervisor Review. Once the experience has been marked as Complete, students will no longer be able to add additional evidence or edit any of the experience details. |
Unlocking Completed Experiences If you are unable to add reflections or update an experience you must request that your CAS Advisor or Coordinator change the experience status from Completed. CAS experiences will be locked after they are marked completed by your advisor, if for whatever reason you have to add or change anything go talk with your Advisor. By clicking on the specific experience, your CAS Advisor or Coordinator simply needs to change the status to Approved. Once this is done, you will be able to update your experience and add reflections. |
