What do I do next?Step 2: Take part in the activity!
Take along your Passport to Learning and get it stamped, have
loads of fun and don’t forget you MUST make sure your name is
added to a register at the Learning Destination.
This is how we know where you’ve
been and how many credits to give
you! Without a register, we can’t
give you your credits.
Can I collect CU credits at my club?
If your group is already a Learning Destination, then yes!
If not - tell them about Sheffield
CU and ask them to join!
As soon as they do, you and all your
friends will be able to collect CU credits
from your activities using your Passport
to Learning.
Can I collect CU credits when I’m on holiday?
Yes! - There are Learning
Destinations all over the
country (and even the world!).
Visit the CU Trust website to
find them…
www.childrensuniversity.co.uk/maps
Can I collect CU credits when I’m on holiday?
If you visit a Learning Destination
away from Sheffield while on
holiday, you need to fill in a
Learning Destination Diary Sheet to
be able to collect your credits.
Make sure you get your Passport
stamped too!
What happens to the credits I collect in my Passport to Learning?
The CU Team will add your
credits to the ones you
receive at school.
This means your total
number of credits will grow
much faster and you will
earn even more CU award
certificates and badges!
